Lefay Resorts was born from the vision of Alcide and Liliana Leali in 2006.
Each one of our resorts share the following key characteristics:
LOCATION
PRODUCT
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
MANAGEMENT
With the objective to leverage on the success obtained at Lefay Resort & SPA Lago di Garda and its unique management model, Lefay Group will consider and pursue new opportunities with investment partners sharing the same values and objectives.
The first expansion of the Lefay Group will focus on the completion of the Italian portfolio and on the management of properties in Central Europe.
On a very limited number of selected opportunities, Lefay Group will act as operator under a Management Agreement. Based on the specific characteristics of the proposed initiative, Lefay Group might evaluate the opportunity to take over the operations of the property under a Lease Agreement.
Our sole focus is on the management of “Destination Spa Hotels” – We do know the product better and we invest more time and resources compared to other hotel operators in constantly improving the product and operations.
We will be extremely selective and consistent in the growth of our portfolio. There will always be consistency in the positioning and customer satisfaction.
We have a track record in driving revenues and profitability.
The wellbeing holiday sector is experiencing a tremendous growth and Lefay Resorts represents one of the most successful and innovative player in the sector.
The spa is for us a core component of our business, not an amenity. We have the ability to drive additional spending and a turnover significantly above our competitors.
We do understand development and financial structuring. We can provide a more comprehensive and effective assistance during the development phase.
We have the ability to fully coordinate the product development.
We have created a product that has proven to be year-round in very seasonal destinations.
We have a strong and loyal client base.
We have Italian soul.
