Hotel São Bento da Porta Aberta sits amid the scenery of the Gerês mountains and the Caniçada reservoir, with views of both from its rooms. The hotel describes itself as sober and welcoming; guest accounts also place a shrine in the view from the property. Its equipped Sala “A Geira” is set up for meetings, congresses and exhibitions, while a separate adaptable space is used for events. A specialist team works on event organisation, with traditional and contemporary cuisine as part of the arrangements. An in-house guide covers activities at the hotel and beyond, and guided or driver-led sightseeing circuits explore the Gerês mountains and Portugal’s national park there. Direct passenger transfers connect the hotel with the airport.
