Lefay Resorts & Residences was born in 2006 from the vision of the entrepreneurial couple Domenico Alcide Leali and Liliana Leali with the aim to become the Italian reference brand in the international market of luxury wellness holidays through the creation of a collection of eco-resorts according to the Italian style and living and the new Lefay concept of luxury.
Lefay Resort & SPA Lago di Garda, the firs jewel in the Lefay Collection, opened in 2008 and is located in Gargnano, while Lefay Resort & SPA Dolomiti opened in 2019 in the splendid scenery of the Dolomites, declared by UNESCO a “World Heritage Site”.
All strategic activities of the Brand are managed by the Cluster Office, which features several departments: Business Development, Administration, Finance & Control, Marketing & Sales, Purchasing, Human Resources, Quality & Sustainability, IT and Central Reservation Office.
The true key to Lefay’s success lies in the excellence of its people, whose satisfaction is considered just as important as that of our guests. Great attention is devoted to the selection, training and professional development of our Team, through both general and role-specific training programmes, as well as a range of exclusive benefits. Each month, the Company recognises an employee who has demonstrated outstanding dedication and commitment to their work. Once a year, an Employee Satisfaction Survey is conducted to monitor and assess the overall level of wellbeing within the organisation. Lefay Resorts & Residences is committed to fostering a strong corporate culture based on mutual trust, employee wellbeing and a genuine sense of belonging.
