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...

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...
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
This is a beautiful hotel. Our room was enormous with a very comfortable bed. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is buffet style with a variety of choices. The dinner menu in the dining room is delicious with excellent service. Tip: the portions are quite generous - enough to share. The location of the hotel was perfect for our hiking adventures - lots of beautiful waterfalls and views and towns to explore. We highly recommend staying at Hotel Sao Bento da Porta Aberta.
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.
Great location for travelling around the Peneda Geres national park. The staff were attentive and friendly and gave us good suggestions for places to visit in the area. Very comfortable room with large balcony overlooking the beautiful sanctuary. The in house restaurant was excellent with great food and service. The spa was a great bonus and I had an amazing massage.
We will definitely be back on our next visit to the area.
Gorgeous art deco hotel at an unbeatable price. It's probably more in the Summer months but it was only $95 for 2 rooms for my aunt and I in March. Check in was easy and the host recommended restaurants and started a big fire in the beautiful fire place for us. Breakfast was included and it was very nice. Great experience overall.
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!
Good location, with garage for parking.
Comfortable bed, full bathroom, spacious bedroom with nice view and small balcony.
Hotel has 2 very pleasant lounges/ common rooms downstairs. Good heating in the bathroom, good water quality and pressure in all taps.
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.
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 host, Armando, was so helpful and accommodating with all of our plans, front desk employees were professional and friendly, breakfast was delicious, rooms were spacious and clean, with balconies!
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
Located in nature and a balcony with a view over the valley. Room was big enough, modern and clean. Nice restaurant inside the hotel. Sufficient parking space close by
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.
