Over 50 years of making guests feel right at home.
A story rooted in Gerês,
made by people, for people.
The Adelaide Hotel was born at the hands of D. Adelaide Ribeiro, with just four rooms, a kitchen, and an immense desire to provide a better life for her family. Through hard work, dedication, and an ever-present smile, she transformed a simple guesthouse into a landmark destination in Gerês.
Today, we continue to honor this essence—a family-run hotel where every detail is thoughtfully designed to make you feel at home, far removed from the impersonality of large hotels.
Here, you are not just a guest. You are part of the home.

Our story in numbers.
Where it all began: the soul of Dona Adelaide
The Adelaide Hotel began with just four rooms, a kitchen, and an immense desire to care for others. That's how Mrs. Adelaide Ribeiro started, with hard work, dedication, and a heart always open to those who arrived.
Originally from Gerês, he understood better than anyone the importance of hospitality. With an easy smile and admirable strength, he transformed a small guesthouse into a space that continues to welcome generations today.
More than a hotel, it created a home. And that essence remains to this day in the way we welcome you, in the details, in the home-cooked food, and in the care we give you in every moment.
A house made of people
At the Adelaide Hotel, we believe that what makes the difference is not just the rooms, it's the people.
From the person who greets you upon arrival to the person who prepares every detail of your room, everything is done with care, attention, and that human touch that you can't find just anywhere.
We grew up like a family home, and that's how we continue to be: close, attentive, and always ready to make you feel good.

“We ordered seafood rice for two, and the wait time was a bit long. However, the quality and quantity were well worth it—it was delicious! Everything was cooked to perfection; we just felt that the imitation crab sticks were unnecessary. The service was very friendly, and the space was quite comfortable. Overall, we highly recommend it. 🛏️ Rooms: 5.0 | 👨🍳 Service: 5.0 | 📍 Location: 5.0 🍽️ Food & Drink: excellent quality and flavor—a meal worth waiting for.”
Anastasiia Starodubtseva
“Without a doubt, the friendliness of the staff and the owner is a major highlight—they are always willing to help and even suggest incredible places to visit. What I enjoyed most was undoubtedly the staff and the cleanliness; although it is an older hotel, it is evident that it is very well maintained.”
Fábio
“The hotel may have 2 stars, but the people who work there are 10-star quality. The entire staff is extremely friendly and kind. My family and I loved the tranquility of the place and the cleanliness—but above all, the way we were treated. We will most certainly return to this 2-star hotel—one, however, with a staff worthy of a constellation.”
Paulo Peres
A clean and well-maintained environment. Impeccable towels and bedding. My room was small, but I really liked it—it was just enough. The breakfast was also top-notch!
Edner
A welcoming atmosphere—I would even say home-like.
From some of the rooms—WITH BALCONIES—the views are breathtaking.
Wonderful food, served by attentive staff who always have a friendly word to share.
Good accessibility, and a parking area for electric cars, complete with charging stations.
Augusto Gouveia
I liked everything. A good room, an exceptionally large bed, and a balcony with a good view of the town and the mountains. Good breakfast and a good restaurant.
Joaquim
The location is excellent, and the staff are very friendly, attentive, and helpful—especially Mr. Carlos. A special thank you goes to Mr. Carlos—whom I truly appreciated—for his care, friendliness, and thoughtfulness! A huge thank you to everyone who welcomed and hosted me so wonderfully! The breakfast was very good, and the cleanliness was impeccable; I have absolutely nothing negative to point out—quite the opposite! I highly recommend this accommodation.

The room's balcony was very large, and everything in the room was very comfortable. The staff were very friendly, and the breakfast was good, with a wide variety.
