During my stay at Hotel, I was impressed by the cozy, well-equipped rooms, some offering stunning views of the Cávado River and the mountains around. The spa was a highlight, featuring a jacuzzi, sauna, Turkish bath, and even sensory showers. The peaceful location, close to river beaches and scenic spots, made it ideal for a relaxing getaway. Overall, the blend of comfort, great food, and beautiful views made this stay unforgettable.

This is in a great location in the heart of the park, the staff was extremely warm and kind, and private parking was a plus. It was a bit dated, but not in a bad way at all.

The hotel has a beautiful vintage decor and is well maintained. Everything was clean and the bed was comfortable. The staff was also attentive and polite.
The buffet breakfast had a good amount of options and you could also order scrambled eggs, supposedly for an extra fee.

Beautiful location, all rooms with a view and balcony, clean
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.
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.
