GARGNANO · SPA-LED ESCAPE
Lefay Resort & SPA
Make the resort the focus: a hillside setting, wide lake views, pools and an extensive wellness centre. A strong choice when you want to spend much of the weekend on site.
LIMONE SUL GARDA · ADULTS-ONLY BY THE WATER
EALA My Lakeside Dream
A grown-up retreat with a private beach and spa. Choose EALA when you want your stay to centre on the lakeshore and on-site wellness.
SIRMIONE · OLD-TOWN BASE
Hotel Marconi
Stay by the old town and lake, then explore Sirmione on foot. This smaller three-star hotel is a practical base if you plan to book the thermal spa separately.
Parking is limited and access is restricted in parts of the old town; contact the hotel before arriving by car.
