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.

Superb location, newly renovated, all mod-cons plus spa access, a good restaurant and an excellent breakfast! JUST GREAT!
We came here after trying to access the nearby chalet, Teixeira Home, where the cobble-stone access was so slippery and steep that our car didn't make it there. Despite the fact, that booking and the owner did not wave the cancellation fee (!), we are feeling blessed that we found Aguas do Geres. Located right in the middle of a charming resort town, with other good restaurants around, and amazing nature at our doorstep. A pleasure even in the continuous rain we experienced. We will be back, I hope.

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 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
We loved the place, the restaurant n the warm welcome ✨ We definitely would like to stay at Pimpao next time! Family-owned business 5 mins from the village. Very hard-working crew, the first night we dined there and the restaurant was fully packed but we were very well treated ✨ Very friendly staff 🌟 😆 Thank u for making our visit to Geres so pleasant 🌺🌼🌻✨🌟💯 We highly recommend!!
We stayed at this hotel April 2022 which is low season and it was really nice, we might have been the only guests and the staff still made sure we were treated well and even had breakfast laid out for us (simple but enough for us). We also changed our dates of our stay without an issue.
The property is well kept and pool is sparkling blue.
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 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.
Very nice hotel with friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was good, although not anything particularly special. Location is very nice, free parking for guests available. Room was not very big, but manageable, with space to store luggage and a nice balcony. Very big bathroom and shower.
The room was very spacious, and very clean, which is my main criteria for rating a room!
The breakfast was amazing with lots of different and quality options!
The view as also very good, straight up to the cathedral and an amazing view on to the mountains!
This hotel is amazing value for money. I had a spacious room and bathroom with a balcony that had an incredible view over the valley. The restaurant served breakfast, lunch and dinner and all were good options. I would highly recommend this hotel.
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.
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.
Clean, spacious rooms. Delicious meals at the hotel’s restaurant. Reception staff was helpful and empathetic. Location is superb. Great sound isolation.
Very family like accommodation. Free large parking space in front of the hotel. Breakfast good. All in all nice space to stay for a national park visit.
