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
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff members were incredibly friendly, the breakfast selection was impressive, with a variety of delicious options to choose from, including fresh fruits and local specialties. The hotel's location is truly remarkable, with a 2 minutes walk to the lake. The room had a very comfortable bed, with stunning views of the lake.
This hotel was a great find! Our balcony and bathroom were huge (much bigger than expected), the room is clean and warm, the beds are comfy, parking is free and super easy, check-in/out was quick and painless, and the location is excellent. We were only here for one night and didn't have enough time to try out all of the facilities, but will definitely come back!
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.
Breakfast was delicious and there were many options as fresh fruit, different types of bread, muesli, yogurth, crossaints, cake, etc.
The hotel is located in the middle of Geres and you can reach it by bus which was great for us, because we didn´t have a car.
The staff was very friendly and the hotel was clean.
The location of the hotel is very good. There is a parking which is useful during the trip to Geres. Bed was comfy and the room was clean. The breakfast was basic but enough to get some energy before the hike. The view is nice and it's a quiet area. Close to the hotel there are some restaurants.
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!
Incredible balcony view of the valley above Geres. A short walk to nearby restaurants. A large kitchen for cooking anything at home. Sweeping night skies with stars that look like they're right in front of you. A short drive / walk to several trails / paths.
This place is very well laid-out and spacious. It is right in town, and has off-street parking. Our group of four was suitably comfortable here for two nights. There was lots of closet space and clothes hangers.
Everything great! Breakfast was delicious, not much food to choose, but enough. The staff of the hotel amazing also, the location great, the rooms clean and spacious with a great view. Recommended.
We loved the common areas. We played games in the downstairs family room area. We had a nice view of the mountains. The rushing water outside the hotel was cool! Loved the National Park.
Very nice hotel with beautiful views.
The room was very clean, staff were super friendly and breakfast was delicious. Would definitely come again if I visit Gerês.
