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 room was spotless, the bed comfortable and the view amazing. Breakfast was included with a good selection and endless coffee. We had a meal in the restaurant which was excellent and great value for money.
The area is picturesque with Geres national park, a 15/20 minute drive away and the Sao Bento Church, 5 minutes drive away. We stayed for 2 nights off season, so it was quiet.
The couple that run the hotel couldn't do enough for us, both spoke English, so my faltering Portuguese was not a problem.
It was my wifes birthday, a cake was provided and they sang happy birthday, which was a lovely touch. This summed the owners up!
There's a carpark outside so it had everything for me. I definitely recommend this hotel.
Located in the heart of Peneda-Gerês National Park, this hotel offers great views of the surrounding mountains. Adelaide Hotel also has an outdoor pool surrounded by lush greenery.
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 Residential located in the heard of Geres, the owners do not speak English but we were very warmly welcomed. The son of the owners traveled a lot and gave us two very good routes to visit around Geres, with a great restaurant recommendation. The room was big and clean, local cafe was lovely as well, did their best, even cooking eggs outside of menu to tend to our morning protein needs before hiking, very good vibe all around. We would love to visit again.
Lovely location ideal for hiking or visiting close by lakes! The lady running the hotel is very kind and communicative. Althought she does not speak english, she managed to give us all the important info to have a good stay (here I'd recommend to learn at least few Portugese words/phrases like 'thank you', 'this', 'eggs', ... as it makes communication more clear for both sides). Also the breakfasts were fantastic!
Definitely would visit again.
This was an old fashioned but modern, super clean place to stay. Lots of attention to detail. Room was huge. Air-conditioning worked perfectly, also wifi. The best things were the breakfast, homemade by Dona Maria José, how kind and lovely and helpful the hosts were, the gorgeous fresh water pool (the water everywhere in this region is gold), the spacious extra clean room. Just perfect. Will come back, thoroughly recommend.
The house is just perfect. Very tastefully designed, spotlessly clean and in quiet area. Fully equipped kitchen. Big outside area with view of the lake and barbeque. The hosts are very friendly, they welcomed us upon arrival and even put some products for a breakfast in the fridge. Walking distance to the lake beach and 30 minutes from the Peneda Geresh.
The location in the middle of the compact Geres village was excellent, close to the bus stops, restaurants, etc. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable, all facilities worked with no problem, and my room even happened to have a nice view towards the hills.
nice hotel for short stay in Geres and I think the best place in this small town.a lot of parking places for free. our room had a balcony with excellent view. really good breakfast - buffet style breakfast. super clean. reasonable price.
A perfect location to visit the National Geres Park. The room was good with all amenities. The breakfast was very good.
Very friendly owners and dear Carla, guiding us to visit the beautiful places in Geres.
It was a really nice stay até horizonte do geres! The staff was really friendly. The location is really good, with parking and easy access. Breakfast was as expected, with fresh bread and fruits.
Overall clean and very spacious room. The balcony had a great view to the Basilica. The staff was very kind. Good breakfast. Perfect stay for visiting São Bento da Porta Aberta and Gerês.
The property and location is realy nice. As always, Selina made a good job converting an old "hotel" to their concept. Hardware is good (beds, showers, pool, lights, etc)
Super attentive hosts. Spectacular poolside and terrace views. Super clean. Mostly new finishes. Close to Geres National Park and town. Bonus: Tour guide lives next door
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
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.
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.
We loved it. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. the warmest welcome of our entire trip in Portugal. The unit and grounds were spotless. Great pool!
