On the doorstep of Portugal’s only national park, Peneda‑Gerês, this budget-friendly hotel sits just outside Gerês village near the Spanish border. Walk to Museu de Vilarinho das Furnas, the Ethnographic Museum Campo do Gerês, Miradouro da Pedra Bela and Bom Jesus do Monte; Albufeira da Caniçada Reservoir is about 5 km away. A handy base for hiking, archaeology and mountain scenery.

The property wraps around an internal courtyard with hanging gardens and an outdoor pool garden with a sun deck and loungers. Rooms are bright with floor-to-ceiling windows, air conditioning, satellite TV and private bathrooms (many rooms feature bathtubs; amenities vary by category). Elevator access makes upper floors reachable for guests with reduced mobility.

Swim in the garden pool (note: the pool is located about 200 metres from the building), hit the outdoor tennis court or hop on the hotel’s mountain shuttle to park trails. The hotel also offers a 24‑hour front desk, room service, concierge, laundry, ATM, ironing and safe‑deposit boxes. Paid public parking is available nearby — wake up to fresh mountain-air mornings and lounge by the poolside deck.

Free Wi‑Fi is available throughout the property.

A daily breakfast buffet gets your day started. The on-site à la carte restaurant highlights traditional dishes from Portugal’s Norte region, while the Jardim Bar serves lunch snacks and a selection of local wines.
