This hotel is amazing value for money. I had a spacious room and bathroom with a balcony that had an incredible view over the valley. The restaurant served breakfast, lunch and dinner and all were good options. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Great location right in the centre of the town. Parking was just up the road in a big private car park.
This apartment hotel is located in the heart of the Peneda Geres National Park in Costa Verde. It offers self-catering accommodation, an outdoor swimming pool and an à la carte restaurant.

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.
Nudging the Spanish border and situated within Portugal’s only National Park, Peneda-Gerês, Hotel Universal features an internal courtyard with hanging gardens. It also offers an outdoor pool garden.

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.
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.
Gerês Guest House is located in the village of Gerês and offers guests rooms with balconies overlooking forest landscapes of the Peneda-Gerês National Park.

Great location, good views of the mountains, close to the little village centre. Andre was very courteous, polite and very helpful with recommending places to visit in Geres.
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
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.
Well located if you want to stay near Rio caldo where you have the river beaches and the water park and also lots of restaurants choices. Close from Vila do Gerês and other spots too.
We stayed at the bedrooms (they have bedrooms and camping) and were ok. We had a shared kitchen which was really useful since we stayed for a couple of days.
Location and staff were amazing. The hotel is comfortable with everything you need for a good price. Breakfast was delicious with Portuguese pastry. Parking was easy, there’s a bar right in front of the hotel with free parking that worked great when the hotel parking was full. Staff also were kind to help us in that.
We had a huge room with modern bathroom and a separate sitting area.The hotel was full of Portuguese charm. The location was excellent for hiking, with several routes nearby. The hotel is in the centre of Geres, with plenty of restaurants, cafes and shops. The staff were friendly and very helpful.
This was a definitely the best choice we did to book in Gerês Guest House, bcs we booked in October, it was raining, it was foggy and the waterfall in the morning , was magical; inlove with the bedroom view, also the Guest house is near everything that we want to explore .
The view from the room was amazing and the place itself was really clean and cozy. It has a great location to explore Geres and surrounding areas by car. Breakfast was simple but good, and the staff was nice and always ready to help you. Would definetly recommend!
nice hotel for short stay in Geres and I think the best place in this small town.a lot of parking places for free. our room had a balcony with excellent view. really good breakfast - buffet style breakfast. super clean. reasonable price.
Lovely room with balcony that overlooks the balcony. Decent breakfast. Owner offered us a tour of the national park, which was wonderful and gave us a chance to meet others also staying at the hotel. Bed was comfortable.
The apartment is nice and very clean with a great view and location for exploring Penada-Geres.
Definitely the best of all is the owner Mrs. Rosa, a true example of a welcoming host. Thank you <3
All the hotel staff were friendly and helpful. The location is perfect. Just off the main road, but easy walking to restaurants, etc. Rooms and common areas are simple, but clean and comfortable.
It was a really nice stay até horizonte do geres! The staff was really friendly. The location is really good, with parking and easy access. Breakfast was as expected, with fresh bread and fruits.
Overall clean and very spacious room. The balcony had a great view to the Basilica. The staff was very kind. Good breakfast. Perfect stay for visiting São Bento da Porta Aberta and Gerês.
We loved the surroundings, right in the middle of the Gerês nature and picturesque scenery. Very quiet area with only a few houses around. Extremely peaceful.
