Loved our overnight stay in an upgraded room with fantastic views of the church opposite and lake in the distance. Immaculately clean and tastefully furnished room with a nice balcony to take in the views. The restaurant offers good choices and we enjoyed lovely quality meals. The breakfast buffet was also very good. Parking was at the front of the hotel.

The property was central, the staff were lovely, it was clean. It would have been brilliant in its heyday, but is now rather tired looking.
We loved that our room looked out over gushing water, great sound.

It was clean and felt bigger than on the pictures.
Even though a bit far from the accommodation, the pool was great.
The hotel parking is an extra but a good deal.
The bedrooms, a terrace and the breakfast room at Hotel Eco Salvador offer panoramic views of the surrounding Cávado River and hills. Offering an outdoor pool, it is 5 minutes’ walk from a small...

We felt very welcome and enjoyed our stay in the Hotel Central Jardim. The staff and front Manager were very helpful with their advice throughout our stay.
Recently renovated, Beleza Serra Guide Hotel is ideally located in the picturesque Peneda-Gerês National Park, right by the Caniçada lake.

The room was spotless, the bed comfortable and the view amazing. Breakfast was included with a good selection and endless coffee. We had a meal in the restaurant which was excellent and great value for money.
The area is picturesque with Geres national park, a 15/20 minute drive away and the Sao Bento Church, 5 minutes drive away. We stayed for 2 nights off season, so it was quiet.
The couple that run the hotel couldn't do enough for us, both spoke English, so my faltering Portuguese was not a problem.
It was my wifes birthday, a cake was provided and they sang happy birthday, which was a lovely touch. This summed the owners up!
There's a carpark outside so it had everything for me. I definitely recommend this hotel.

Breakfast was the best... the silent was good too.

Localisation, big rooms and quality price relation
We came on the bus from Braga. Actually, there was a one-day strike and we took a taxi. We took the bus back. The bus runs infrequently and you have to buy the ticket on the bus. Once in Geres, if you don't have a car, you can find out about the trails from the tourist info center so you can get into the park. We also opted for a 4 hr tour with Carlos at Lobos Tours and it was worth the $40 to see all the parts of the park and some of the small villages and the waterfalls. He was born and raised there and has alot of knowledge of the area. One bummer of the visit was the Parque de Termas is only open intermittently and was closed when we were there. Apparently this is a problem. If you want a hot spring dip, you need to go to the Spanish border. Not far away, but need transport. It is a nice village overall.

Geres is a unique place where you can see nature in its best, there are so many attractions even on low-session, and plenty of native restaurants along all routes, i have been there for 5/6 years in a row and I am still impressed with the place as you can see my own photographs attached.

Rio Caldo on the lower edge of the park is stunning.
Rio Caldo on the lower edge of the park is stunning. Views are amazing. There are plenty of bars and cafes, and a small well stocked supermarket. It has a good public transport network. We hired a kayak twice during our stay with AML.

Don't try to go to Geres for a long weekend, it's not enough time but if that's all you have, then don't miss it! Amazing hiking and quaint villages all around. We chased waterfalls for 3 days and loved it.
The Sao Bento da Porta Aberta Sanctuary was so unique and loved the juxtaposition of the old and new churches. Stunning tiles in the new museum.
We also had a quick stop at the Vilarinho das Furnas dam. We love dams but still cool to see. A short easy walk from the dam is a cute waterfall and a perfect spot for a picnic.
Keep your eyes peeled for wild horses and shepherds with their cows and goats.
The town of Geres itself is small but I really enjoyed a quick stroll around town and found some great artisan shops to get souvenirs.

We had a fantastic time in Geres.
We had a fantastic time in Geres. The staff at Baltazar Hotel were extremely helpful and kind- especially Orlando. We had a challenging and beautiful hike and spent one afternoon with a guide who showed us so much of the park. The food and generosity of the Baltazar staff was wonderful. We would come back for a longer stay next time and recommend to anyone.

Very nice picturesque location, beautiful lake at the bottom...
Very nice picturesque location, beautiful lake at the bottom of the surrounding mountains near the hotel. Hotel was very clean, and big. I was pleasantly surprised. Polite man at the reception when we got there, very attentive and prompt when requests were made. My only advise to anyone checking out in the early hours, e.g. around 03.30am is to allow extra time because there may not be anyone readily available as they will be carrying out other tasks (as the polite lady mentioned when the bell at reception wasnt attended to with the usual promptness). Other than that, extremely wonderful stay
By far one of the best places I've stayed. Very clean and calm, reception service very nice (Catia thank you very much for your kindness) and awesome views to mountains from there. Besides that breakfast was super good. And is not expensive at all.
I recommend 100%, definitely a place to go.
How to go : Bus stop is 5min walking from there. But be careful if you come from Braga city, you need to take bus 200 (direction campo do gerês) cause it's the only bus that takes you there.
The property is beautiful and offers one of the best views we can have from the lake . The concept of the house is brilliant and provides all comfort and peace a big family needs. We loved and we will return next year. This kind of accommodation is truly adequate for large families that seek some quality time together bot far from the marvelous nature of Gerês. Several tracks not far away and the center a couple of minutes far .
All family is Missing it already ….,
Perfect room, space, location and services. The view is outstanding and the hotel room was incredibly comfortable. The décor details spread throughout the hotel play a great part in the experience as does the peaceful scenery around the premisses. We were amazingly welcomed by all the staff members we encountered and the stay was that much more memorable due to their kindness and hospitality. Surely a hotel to return to.
We stayed at this hotel April 2022 which is low season and it was really nice, we might have been the only guests and the staff still made sure we were treated well and even had breakfast laid out for us (simple but enough for us). We also changed our dates of our stay without an issue.
The property is well kept and pool is sparkling blue.
- The location is good, quite close to many beautiful locations in the Gerês national park. The room was very clean, with air conditioning and a TV with HD channels;
- The host was very friendly and gave good advice on what places to visit and restaurants to eat in;
- The parking space was ample and easy to get to from the property.
We are traveling from the US and wanted to see Geres. Hotel Central Jobim is right on the Main Street of town. There were many restaurants nearby. The hotel, itself, had a very nice breakfast each morning. The staff was really nice and very helpful. I would stay here again when I return.
We were there in December, cold weather. This hotel is fitted for warm weather. We felt cold. Tiny rooms, although very clean. The electricity failed a few times - probably because it could not handle the demand... The place was full, due to a sports event. The staff was helpful.
Great location with fantastic views of the green mountains. Our room included a nice balcony which is highly recommended. Bkfst is Ok but could have more choices. Coffee is fresh & tasty. Free parking. Friendly & helpful staff. Overall a very nice visit & stay in Geres.
Excellent accommodation, probably one of the best we have stayed in and we travel a lot in Spain and Portugal. The facilities were really good and outside areas were amazing with excellent views. Very comfortable , could not fault it at all
- everything was pefrect: location, both bedrooms, view was gorgeous
- if you want barbeque -> you have everything you need
- parking lot for 4-5 cars
- full kitchen (don't have a dishwasher)
- close to all most interesting Geres points
Spacious and nicely decorated house, great for a stay with family and/or friends. The pool, barbecue and tennis court are an absolute plus! Everything was super clean. Gerês has good restaurants and a lot of water sports to offer.
Very clean and comfortable 2 bedroom apartment in Gerês. Great service from the administrator Cecília. Quiet place and beautiful views. Fully equipped kitchen. Decent Wi Fi.
