Liked the location as it was quiet by the ocean. The beds were too firm. Bathtub/ shower slippery. Buffet was average. Great live music. Bartender accused us of not paying for drinks, which we had plus we gave a 20Euro tip. Later they apologized but it was embarrassing. Front desk was helpful.

The space itself was a beautiful studio with huge windows that opened to a little garden. It had a small kitchenette that was fully equipped for meal prep. The host was incredibly kind and had some home made jam and treats for us when we arrived. We had the breakfast in the morning which was wonderful. It consisted of fruits, pancakes, eggs, cheese, yogurts, pastries and more. The host was very kind, she answered all of our questions, made wonderful suggestions for restaurants and gave us some history of the location and the grounds. The studio itself was very clean, stylish, and quiet. I would recommend this establishment for anyone wanting stay on this side of the Sao Miguel.

Everything was brand new and thoroughly decorated. Very cozy and colorful home. The staff was super nice and friendly. The garden is very pretty, great for exploring.

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.
We had a wonderful stay. The house was really nice and clean, equipped with everything we needed. It's situated in a great location of Ribeira Grande so you can go everywhere around by walk. This location is also really convenient when you want to explore whole island by car. Parking is also possible, you can leave your car easily on the street for free. Kevin was really kind and always ready to help. He also prepared a really nice welcome package of typical Açores stuff for us. We can just recommend this place for your stay :)
Wonderful location, new kitchen, friendly and accommodating host, and all around great stay! Can’t believe it’s not a perfect 10.
Carlos provided an amazing array of local produce that was the best gift we have received at any booking stay.
The washer was just what we needed after a rainy and muddy week. The kitchen had all new appliances and the two heater/ACs helped keep both the upstairs and downstairs at a temperature that worked for us.
The location is right by the beach, which you can see from the backyard.
We loved every minute of hotel Verde Mar. Spatious parking, very clean hotel, spatious room with a lot of closet space, bath and shower. We absolutely enjoyed the lush spa located in the hotel. The swimming pool (6x20m) has a turbine, waterfall and jets. Good breakfast with high quality fruits, nuts, buns, pastry, charcuterie. Good quality restaurant. Large supermarket just across the street. Good alternative restaurant options in Tuka Tula beach restaurant and a local food market.
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 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.
The hotel is simply breathtaking. The whole set up is extremely peaceful, you’re stone away from the beach and can have nice view from the pool. The rooms are very clean, modern and functional. The restaurant is also really good, both the food and drinks were amazing quality. Finally, the staff is super friendly and helpful they will make sure you enjoy your stay and have everything that’s needed!
Very lovely place quite in the center of the island and in the old town of Ribeira Grande. It has it's own parking spots and the self check-in smooth, so you don't have to know exactly when you arrive to get the keys. The three houses are well designed, so you don't really see the others as you sit on your porch. In April, using the pool was bit cold for us, but the children didn't seem to mind.
This is amazing place and was much better than we expected! Very cozy boutique hotel with super equipped common kitchen, amazing selection of Azores wines (must try!), beautiful pool area and fabulous breakfast. Very good location and easy access to all part of the island, convenient parking. The weather is much better in this part of the island than anywhere else. Highly recommend
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.
Warm wellcome on arrival. Walter, the host is very friendly and helpful. Ribeira grande with his central location has very good connections to the motorways to explore the different sides of the island. Good whale touring from Rabo de Peixe with futurismo. We had a nice stay.
This property is right in the heart of Ribeira Grande, and it is stunning! We loved that we were able to swing by the market and make our breakfasts back at the villa. This was a great central location for exploring the whole island.
it is a really good place the place itself is top notch and the view over Ribeira Grande is amazing and host Silvano is so welcoming and always available to help and also give you travel tips based on your preferences.
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!
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!
