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.
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.
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.
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.
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 view is amazing, the location is easy to reach and it is not too crowded around the hotel. Facilities are clean and great. The staff is super friendly and helpful (by far most of them). The bar staff and the bar food was amazing! everybody behind the reception was lovely to interact with as well. Indoor and outdoor pool was very enjoyable and the rooms were really clean and comfy.
Great facilities, comfortable bed and well equipped kitchen. Well laid out and lots of living room space too. ample on street parking available for free too and host was very responsive. Close by to town of Ribeira Grande and great base to explore the island to the East and West if you don’t want to be in Ponta Delgado. excellent value for money.
The blue apartment is truly amazing, very nice space. The location is very nice, close to the highway and the centre of Ribeira Grande, but on the same time very peaceful. The hosts have been very polite and friendly, I wish every apartment/hotel had been managed by such people. Definitely recommend it to everyone.
The hotel has a youthful atmosphere, friendly and smiling guests, responsive hosts. A beautiful red cat who tries to participate everywhere.
Close to the ocean, surfers' beach. In general, a quiet area, next to a pasture with horses.
Classic hotel breakfast - bread, eggs, jam, cheese, meat. Delicious coffee.
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.
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.
the hotel is kind of a mix between an bed n breakfast and a hotel.
The breakfasts were very good.
The rooms were quite comfortable and a good size.
The staff was friendly and attentive.
The location was excellent.
I highly recommend this property
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
Everything about Santa Barbara Eco Beach Resort was exceptional. The concierge helped us book a rental car and plan our itinerary during the stay, the food and staff were amazing, and the location to the beach is unbeatable.
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!
