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 :)

Beautiful house, spacious and well equipped, clean bathrooms and spacious rooms, very nice outdoor area with barbecue, located in a small town but close to great beaches.

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...
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.
Our accommodations at "Quinta do Passo" in the town of Ribeira Grande on the Azores were exceptional. Wonderful design, modern, well maintained, clean and all amenities available.
Perfect location with yet private inner court with pool and amazing garden. Rear patio area and grill as well.
Key pickup and communication were impeccable. Rooms were cleaned twice during our stay with a change of towels.
Host, Eduarda e Nuno Costa got back to us within minutes of any question we had and resolved all inquires.
The room was spacious, the breakfast provided every morning was delicious, the hosts were very friendly and gave lots of great recommendations, and the hosts even did our laundry and cleaned the room halfway through the stay since we were staying for 10 days. The location was great since it was in the middle of the island so it was no more than 40 minutes to get to any part of it. Ribeira Grande also had great hot springs that were 15 min away and they were our favorite!
The host was extremely kind and welcoming, showed me to the room, and walked me through the premises (i.e., the shared kitchen/living room, the location for breakfast). The breakfast was standard with some savory and typical breakfast granola and toast options. The room was delightful, spacious, clean, and the terrace gave a nice glimpse of the beach from the nearby fields. Parking was easy, as there's plenty of street parking right outside of the rooms.
I really liked the location, in a quiet village close to the main spots like Ribeira Grande, Ponta Delgada. The core value was the view from the window: the ocean in all its majesty!
The host has been very kind and helpful from the time I made the booking. She was always available for any questions before the departure, promptly responding and providing hints.
I definitely recommend this place if you want to see and hear the ocean all the time!
The property was beautiful and right outside of the main town of Ribeira Grande. We were in easy walking or driving distance of so many things to do - Santa Barbara beach, waterfall hikes, etc. The pool was unheated so we didn't get in much, but we did dip our toes. It was so nice to open up our doors in the morning to the wonderful view! The hosts also provided some cheese, bread, and jam which made for a nice breakfast the first morning.
This is a lovely traditional house in the outskirts of Ribeira Grande. It feels like youre staying in grandmothers home - and I think you actually are! The owner, Emanuel, is extremely kind and helpful, and gave us plenty of recommendations and planned out itineraries for us. Breakfast is good. All the amenities. Great price. Highly recommend - this is a great home base for traveling around the island with a car.
Rossana and her husband are the greatest people,really warm feeling from the first second I have arrived,large room,clean,big terrase,absolute privacy,great breakfast,she is making her own jams which you can taste by the breakfast and they are to die for. It is super close to the square,you can walk around the cute Ribeira Grande and not that far from the beach as well. I will be back!
The best mattress on Azores — so comfortable sleep guaranteed. We had a great sleep. The hotel staff welcomed us in a very friendly and informative way. The hotel has a beautiful design, the room is huge. The location is amazing, right at the city centre. We were provided with towels for thermal pools and bathroom robes which was very nice. Price quality ratio is great.
Absolutely perfect. Walking distance to beaches and restaurants, it was quiet, good parking options on the street. The house if very modern, offers washing machine, iron, big kitchen downstairs, very nice rooms. We were 10 people and everyone was very happy with the stay. The owner even helped us book 3 cars for our group with the best price possible.
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.
Great hotel. Super great staff and service. Extra extra credit goes to staffer Luis Silva, who was super nice, competent, friendly, and helpful. Luis made us feel personally cared for. We will go back to this hotel, in large part due to Luis. He was super helpful with everything.
VCH is a lovely property within walking distance of many shops, restaurants and sites in Ribeira Grande. The staff is incredible-kind, accommodating, and generous. We stayed in the 2-bedroom apartment which had enough space for our family of 4. Breakfasts were fantastic.
It is a big, spacious apartment. WiFi is stable. It has a balcony but it’s very small and you can’t use it for sitting, unless you bring kitchen chairs outside. Not even a space for small table. A free parking nearby, but in Ribeira Grande most parking places are free.
for me this was a very nice stay, spacious room.. clean and cleaned and serviced every day. super nice modern and new bathroom, the bathroom is that of a 5 star hotel. it’s near the center, with an optimal quality price ratio, I really enjoyed the stay.
Orlando the host is a very kind and available person.
The apartment we had is big, calm, functional and clean, very well situated in Ribeira Grande.
There is a common kitchen very well equipped.
This hostel was exceptionally clean and the host was very friendly and welcoming! I enjoyed my stay in this well-located and spacious hotel. Recommended!
