This is the best apartment we’ve ever stayed! 100% Recomended and we’ll return here for sure.
The apartment with 5 star conveniences had everything we need: starting from the bathrobes and slippers till the products for breakfast from the hosts as we arrived late. That was very sweet.
Peter and Zita are very nice and helpful. Thank you very much for the hospitality.
And the best part of the stay is the garden with amazing trees and landscape. The view to the green hill and birds singing, this is a paradise :)

Lots of hiking around, great beaches, nice local restaurants, bars and coffee shops. Relatively good public transport to get around. Often cheaper to take taxi to get around than renting a car. In total we spent 4 weeks on the Azores and had a rental car for 4 days, this was one too much. Taxi is great for getting almost everywhere. Public transport is somehow good.

The town has some very interesting historical buildings, but it seems the economic turndown took a lot from its better days. Walking there at night was rather a Lovecraftian experience. It's safe, but it's just that there's not much to do there. But it's a small island and the town is right in its middle and it was very handy for the day trips visiting its different parts.

Ribeira Grande is a fantastic place to stay if you're visiting São Miguel. It is located more central than Ponta Delgada while being only a 15 minute car ride away from the airport, so it's the perfect place from which to explore the entire island. An added bonus is that it's right next to the best beaches in São Miguel: most beaches on the island are rocky, the only true sandy beaches are next to Ribeira Grande. We went surfing twice at Santa Bárbara beach, only 10 minutes away from where we stayed in Ribeira Grande. The city itself is fairly small but quaint and has everything you need, including a pretty large supermarket (Continente), some cafes and restaurants, stores, even a laundromat. The only downside is that for vegans/vegetarians it's pretty hard to eat out, but that is true for almost all of the island except a few places in Ponta Delgada.

Ribeira Grande is a great starting point for trips all around the island. It is located almost in the middle of island so everything is pretty nearby. On the other side it is relatively small city so it is not overcrowded. 15-20 minutes from airport.
Everything was wonderful including our hosts. It was the most relaxing stay we have had in many years. The floral beauty of the gardens are without equal. The level of comfort was outstanding. The hosts were always available to answer our questions and provided us with many gardening tips. If you are looking for a Hotel, this is not the place. If you are looking for an apartment in a rural setting, centrally convenient location with peace and serenity, this is absolutely the place.
The host was so kind and helpful. We had our 1 year old with us and they provided a cot, high chair and baby bath for us. It was a great place to stay, very quiet although central to Ribeira Grande. There was a big supermarket a few minutes walk away so we did a lot of cooking in and the shared pool/garden was lovely, even with a washing machine for guest use. With the gates shut we felt very secure and it was lovely and private. We loved our stay and would definitely recommend.
The room looked like what I expected and it was in the middle of Ribeira Grande, easy walking distance to local shops and restaurants. The room was spacious and nice. Bathroom was outside the room but as it was private, I didn't mind that. Kitchen had everything I needed including salt and oil so I didn't have to buy quite everything! Beds were comfortable and the wifi worked very well for remote working.
This property is located in the centre of Ribeira Grande. This apartment was equipped with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The views are overlooking the water and you can see the whole shoreline, it was amazing to wake up to every morning. Overall me and my family really enjoyed staying here and we will definitely be back to book the Monte Azul Penthouse
Lovely and always available hosts who prepared the best local breakfast, extra clean and super comfortable bedroom with a little balcony and an amazing view on the ocean and the island landscape, great location in Ribeira Grande with free parking directly in the street and possibility to visit the entire island easily.
Our host Orlando was very friendly, responsive and helpful. He shared a lot of tips and gave us some good restaurant recommendations for Ribeira Grande. The room was very comfortable, clean and decorated with a charming "pineapple theme". The center of Ribeira Grande was just a few minutes away from the appartement.
We enjoyed our stay in the villa. The location is perfect in Ribeira Grande, just 10 mins walk to the local beach and pools and 20 mins walk to Continente supermarket. Thanks to Daniel for welcoming us and for morning bread. That’s hands down, the top notch facility in San Miguel to relax and enjoy surroundings.
The house is big and very pleasant. Ribeira Grande is a wonderful city to be in. It has two nice beaches, one of which, Areal de Santa Barbara, is probably one of the most beautiful in the whole island. There are also several nice restaurants to go to nearby. All in all, we loved to be there for our whole stay.
We absolutely loved this property. It was easy walking to the beach, pool, restaurants etc.
The kitchen had everything we needed to cook in and it was a bonus having a washing machine. We loved that they had a basket of local goodies filled with local products. We loved the back patio too.
It was a wonderful stay. The place is by the river, a very quiet one-way road, while the center of Ribeira Grande is just around the corner. The house is furnished in local style and is super cute. We were extremely satisfied. Also, the owners always answered questions that arose quickly.
Very clean. Room service every day and great various breakfast. The staff gave us a good map of the island and valuable tips of what we should do and eat. They even gave us extra towels for our beach trips. The location is ideal to discover the whole Island in a short time.
Really nice place to stay in Ribeira Grande, close to the beach but also to downtown. Clean, big room and very nice and well maintened common areas (shared kitchen and bathroom, living and dining area, terrace)
The breakfast buffet was fantastic. The front desk staff were very helpful with answering questions, and booking dinner reservations. Enjoyed being able to purchase a bottle of wine at the hotel
It has a very unique interior. The path down to the beach behind the property was very beautiful. The beach is something I didn’t see advertised but should be on the listing if not.
Exceptional all the way around. The spa, pool, food and room were first rate. If you go to the spa , get a massage from Enrique. Worth the travel to the Azores alone!
