Selina Geres

Perched above the Cávado River in Northern Portugal, this off-grid escape sits within easy walking distance of Albufeira Gerês river beach. It’s minutes from Peneda‑Gerês National Park (about a 7–10 minute drive) and a short drive to the town center. Pet-friendly and family-friendly, it’s ideal for outdoor seekers.

Rooms range from upgraded dorms and private rooms to luxurious lofts — plus glamping tents for nights under the stars. Expect a nature-led, outdoorsy vibe with river views, rooftop hangouts, hammocks and simple, stylish interiors that nod to local life.

Stand-out features include an outdoor pool, rooftop with sweeping river views, a yoga deck, and an on-site cinema room. Join morning wellness sessions, unwind in hammocks, or gather for movie nights and rooftop drinks. The place also offers tour assistance for nearby hikes and waterfall visits.

A comfortable cowork space and on-site Wi‑Fi keep you connected. Free parking and laundry facilities are available for longer stays.

On-site restaurant-bar serves a locally sourced breakfast to start active days and pours Portuguese wine and cold beers for evenings on the roof. Simple, regional flavors anchor the menu for a true taste of the area.
