Personal wellness is strictly connected to environmental wellness, especially nowadays that human’s impact on nature and its effects cannot be ignored any longer. For this reason Lefay Resort & SPA Lago di Garda has been designed and created with a view to environment sustainability with implementation of the latest generation technologies and the use of renewable alternative energies on the basis of ISO 14001 environmental certification for the “Design and management of architectural solutions for innovative and eco-compatible structures” phase and the ISO 9001 quality certificate. Moreover Lefay Resorts is owner of RECS certificates, which guarantee that all the purchased electric energy is produced by the “A2A Group” only through renewable energy sources.

Lefay eco-sustainability concept is mainly based on architecture and technology. During the planning phase, the former has allowed a low environmental impact through a reduced design that perfectly integrates with the territory, moreover the interior design features only natural materials. The latter, thecnology, gave the possibility to combine luxury, maximum service and comfort with a comprehensive respect for the environment and an efficient use of energy: biomass plant, micro-turbine cogeneration plant, biomass station, tri-generation of electricity, heat and cooling through the use of micro-turbines, photovoltaic panels, software for managing energy saving and a maximum water recovery.
