Hotel São Bento da Porta Aberta & Spa

Breakfast, facilities and location.

very clean and beautiful

having to pay extra for spa

Very friendly staff. Great view from the balcony of the church.

The spa jacuzzi is 10 euros extra pp, which would have been fine, but most the jets do not work, which was very disappointing. It’s an overpriced spa experience.

Perfect location, very nice and friendly staff, great spa service, very comfortable and clean rooms with everything one may need, very nice restaurant, free parking.

I was surprised that at the hotel of such level they had paid water in the minibar - usually there’s a free bottle of water in a room. Also would be great to have some vegetables for breakfast (there was none).

Good location, clean room, nicely designed staff

Very dull selection at breakfast Everything cost extra(even the coffee and tea in the room)

The hotel location is excellent, the staff is kind,

There is a coffee machine, but you have to pay to use it. The suite was not as luxurious as we expected, just an extra room that we used to store our luggage.

A very lovely stay at the heart of Peneda-Geres. The staff were kind and helpful, rooms are spacious and clean, parking is free just outside the hotel, and the spa - that can be booked at the reception - is a very nice addition. Breakfast was also good. The stunning Church São Bento da Porta Aberta is on the other side of the street, and there are also wonderful views. Would come back!

Would appreciate additional vegetarian breakfast options.

I really liked how clean the entire hotel and room was, the staff were always kind and helpful.

The comfort ability of the bed was the only thing I didn't like.

Helpful staffSuper breakfast

Very minor complaint - room waa too hot on arrival, at 23 degrees. But quickly cooled.

The food was VERY VERY GOOD...many different things to choose from. and very clean. The team that is working there ....to all of them THANKS for a splendid start of our days.

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.

Breakfast could be a little more diverse, with more savory options and more natural juices, but it is still a fair breakfast.

Localizacao e simpatia do staff

Spa é demasiado pequeno

Everything was very good.Room as good and so was the cleanliness that we observed. Breakfast was amazing and the location was exactly what we wanted!The pillows were a bit too low for my taste. However when I requested additional pillows they were promptly provided, so the service is very good!

The location is so convenient to all that the Peneda-Geres National park has to offer….excellent hiking and panoramas, and beautiful scenic drives. The view from the hotel is gorgeous as it looks into the Cavado River. The staff was professional, efficient, super kind and helpful from the moment we checked in. Joao, the desk, provide so much helpful information about the park upon check-in. Diana in the dining room was a delight! Even with a packed house for dinner she kept her happy attitude and performed her job well. The spa facility at the hotel offered Turkish bath, sauna, cold shower, and jacuzzi, we enjoyed all and found them them to be clean and functioning properly. Delightful! My wife and I also took advantage of the massage services and were pleased with the massages we received from Mariana. We could not have been more pleased and satisfied with the property, the staff, the room, and the spa. Will DEFINITELY return to Hotel Sao Bento..Thank you to the staff for a job well done!

It was all top notch

Bad attitude We made a mistake in the location of the hotel in the middle of the night and the hotel showed no flexibility and did not waive the fine or even part of the fine

Attitude not to

Amazing breakfast and location

Spa could be bigger

Modern rooms Friendly staffBest breakfast ever

Lovely place and great staff. Excellent on site restaurant which we really appreciated. Servers were so pleasant and helpful, delicious food. Beautiful shrine area to appreciate as well.

The room is clean and good size. The breakfast was delicious. The city is tiny, with few things to do around. But is a good place to stay for someone who wants to visit Santuario de Sao Bento and Geres National Park. I visited the Sanctuary Nossa Sra da Abadia, for the Nossa Sra da Abadia Sanctuary is not so close. But is a good place to stay.

Parking was definitely needed so a relief the hotel was able to provide. Excellent location for a weekend exploring the serra in complete solitude. Wonderful room , like a mini apartment , super friendly and helpful staff . Cannot fault it.

Nothing. It was as described and excellent value.
