Parking was definitely needed so a relief the hotel was able to provide. Excellent location for a weekend exploring the serra in complete solitude. Wonderful room , like a mini apartment , super friendly and helpful staff . Cannot fault it.

This little family run hotel has excellent service and everything you need to explore the national park area. The owners themselves and staff are warm and welcoming, the food at the restaurant was excellent, it has its own parking, and it is conveniently located right across a beach access and near many interesting sightseeing points and hiking routes.

Very friendly staff excellent service and condition
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
The place is super comfy, very nice bed and the pillows are not hard and massive like most hotel rooms. I stayed in room 12 and the views are absolutely stunning, I couldn't believe how lucky I was! I had the whole view of the church and city, best bedroom in the place! There's a cute picnic area with view as well, nice kitchen with kettle and microwave and paid coffee machine... I would have loved to stay more, but if I go back, I'm definitely staying there again!
The apartment was spacious and had everything we needed. And the biggest plus was ofcourse the big terrace with the wonderfull view of the water, bridge and hills. The wifi worked very well and the car is parked next to your house behind a private gate. You can swim from your own platform. The owner is kind. Restaurants and boat rental nearby. Also Geres for walking.
Hotel is in an area where there are minimal other facilities around if looking for alternative resturants in March. It was a busy area so we used the hotel facilities. All the food was fantastic and plenty of it. Staff were amazing and so helpful and friendly. We even decided to use the spa facilities for a massage which was very welcome and resonably priced.
It’s a very cozy and charming hotel. The room was comfortable and clean. And most of all, the staff was all very kind and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.
