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.

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
The location could not be more central to Vila do Gerês.
The hotel is beautiful, the room was huge and the bed was really spacious and comfortable. I slept like a baby and I'm quite fussy about beds and mattresses.
The shower/bath was big, the water hot and with good pressure, lovely bathroom.
Everything was spotlessly clean!
The staff was friendly and the breakfast was nice too, European style with some eggs, pastries, fruits, cured meats etc.
Would definitely come back again ☺️
You can not beat the location. The views from the rooms overlooking the valley are simply breath-taking. You could easily sit on the balcony and watch the changing light and clouds for hours. The hotel is tucked away behind the church of São Bento with off-street parking conveniently close. Facilities are basic but very good - one of the best showers we used in northern Portugal :) and speedy wifi. A lovely sanctuary with fantastic value for money.
Great location, value for money and comfortable bed. The view is spectacular and very much worth the extra price. The hotel has a very nice outdoor patio/garden as well. Even if your bedroom doesn't have a balcony you can use shared outdoor space.
There are several restaurants and fluvial beaches nearby, you can walk to the essential places.
Bedroom is small but has all the essentials and daily cleaning. The owners are very welcoming.
This is one of the best accommodations we've stayed in in Spain/Portugal. A fantastic value. Big kitchen/dining area. Separate living room with a television, games, and a guitar. Comfortable bedrooms with private bathrooms. Very clean. Staff is helpful and kind. Great location right near the bus stop, grocery stores, and of course mountains!
We were going to stay a couple nights, and ended up staying five! Highly recommend.
The staff was very friendly and effective. The hotel infrastructure is good as well as the overall quality. The room was cozy and the bed was comfortable, all amenities as well.
We dined at the restaurant a couple of times and rely appreciated the foods quality as well as the service.
In general it has been a very good stay and it is definitely recommended.
Gerês Guest House was a fantastic place to stay to adventure around the national park! It was central, and they were so helpful with telling me about places to go and things to see. The room was nice and clean, not any less than I needed. Again the owner was so helpful, and it was the perfect place to stay for a few days of hiking.
The room was comfortable and spacious with a lovely little patio. Beautiful breakfast room with views (but no cooked breakfast). Staff were helpful with questions etc. Not a luxury hotel but great for a walking holiday, very peaceful and excellent value for money.
A very nice and clean hotel. Our room had a balcony with a beautiful view of the village and mountains. The restaurant has beautiful view as well. Breakfast was not amazing, but good. Eggs, bread, ham, cheese, yoghurt, fruits, pastry, jam.
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.
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.
A very good place to visit the Geres National Park. Friendly and helpful personnel. Absolutely no problem with pets. Some advice on the park visiting is provided.
Located very close to Geres and the hiking trails, good breakfast, friendly staff, room was very clean and comfortable, there was even a mini fridge in it.
