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 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 :)
Very nice place, decorated with taste up to the little details. Great location, super friendly staff, comfortable beds. We were provided with welcome cookies, tea, coffee, bathrobe, even with beachtowels. .Upon arrival, we were given a local map and orientation about the place and then sights. Great kitchen, it has everything you need. It is well organized with separate spaces for each room, the same in the fridge There's laundry service in Ribeira Grande and in Ponten Delgada if you need to do laundry. :)
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.
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.
Everything is amazing about Quinta do Passo: central location on the island with easy in and out, spacious and clean, beautiful surroundings with pool, outdoor shower and plenty of outdoor seating, villas are fully stocked for all your needs and many markets, cafes, and restaurants within 5 min of walking, plenty of towels for bath and pool/ beaches/ thermal trips… I could literally go on and on.
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 location of Ribeira Grande is great as it is very central to the island.
The calmness of the house in the city Center but on a calm street and on top of the river!
Few minutes walk from everything, the beach, supermarkets, restaurants and half an hour drive to the stunning Lagoa do Fogo and Caldeira Velha!
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.
great location right on the ocean you can sleep with the sound of the waves. hotel is contemporary and airy. pool area is very nice. gym looks onto the ocean and it is well equipped with technogym machines. staff is young and nice. you can relax and enjoy all your time there
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.
Everything was perfect during our stay. The staff are particularly friendly especially to our little pup Bruno. He had so much fun running around the hotel and the lobby saying hi to everybody. The hotel is definitely the best in the entire island.
Beautiful well-kept home in a quiet part of Ribeira Grande that was a perfect base for our travels around the island. João was a helpful and attentive host who always responded quickly to any questions and such a lovely person
Milton at the front desk made you feel most welcome and available to answer your questions. The hotel rooms are large with a beautiful view and great breakfast was included.
One of the best place on Azores we stayed in! Spacious and perfect designed room. great view on the beach line. delicious food in restaurant. worth to pay for it 👍🏻
Location near the center of Ribeira Grande. The host was willing to help fix issues we could meet and keen to pass on advices about our stay on Sao Miguel.
