The Pousada is located in a beautiful mountain chalet high up in the hills. An unforgettable viewpoint over the Caniçada dam, right on the Cávado River.

During your stay, you will be able to relax in our various common rooms, take a dip in the outdoor swimming pool and enjoy a meal at the restaurant with panoramic views and an esplanade.

If you would prefer something more calm and relaxing, enjoy our spacious terrace to gaze at the magnificent views or take a stroll through the gardens and enjoy a good book next to the fireplace on cooler days.

During your stay at Pousada Gerês-Caniçada you will be able to take in the natural scenery and enjoy nature activities such as fishing, canoeing and hiking. To schedule an excursion, ask for assistance at our 24-hour reception.

During the summer, discover the reservoirs that go on like blue blankets against the green vegetation, inviting you to take a dip. In winter, the scenery is covered in undulating white blankets of snow, welcoming you to practice winter sports and offering beautiful scenery.
