A stay at Hotel São Pedro begins on the edge of central Arouca, with the town within walking reach, and can end with a drive out to the surrounding geopark. Mountain scenery frames views from the terrace and balconies; rooms on upper floors look towards Arouca or Serra da Freita. Contemporary rooms and suites sit within a hotel that says it uses environmentally sustainable technologies. After a day exploring, guests can settle in the bar or dine on regional cooking in the restaurant. The Paiva Walkways, the 516 Suspension Bridge and other Arouca Geopark attractions are accessible by car, while Porto and the nearest airport are an hour away.
