Also there is a gym with good equipments. You will finds help from all the employees there. They are so kind and helpful (my pleasure to all the employees: reception guys and girls , house keepers, spa center workers and kitchen workers) they are really nice, always smile and they are always happy to help.

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.

This property is very nice. The gardens are beautiful and the property manager was phenomenal ! Our unit was very clean and easy to acclimate to. There wasn't a welcome basket: only a bottle of wine. HOWEVER, the breakfast basket delivered each morning was more than enough and provided choices for snacks throughout the day. Bed was very comfortable. The property would be awesome for families !

It was a wonderful and unforgettable adventure. Information on how to access the house was provided ahead of time, which made our arrival very comfortable. The accommodations were exactly as depicted in the photographs and brought us a lot of positive emotions. We had the opportunity to spend time with friends in the spacious kitchen and on the terraces with fantastic views.
The staff was very attentive and sincere. We had a delicious breakfast at the Resort daily. The beach was an integral part of a relaxing stay. Once you become accustomed to a round-about, you'll be fine driving. The city of Ribeira Grande is very walkable too.

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...
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.
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.
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!
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
This place is incredible. The room was stunning, the food was fabulous, the staff were so attentive. They give you a mobile phone to ask questions or request whatever you want whenever you want! They left a cake and champagne on arrival for my partners birthday. The views are beautiful, this place has it all. My favourite hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Highly recommend
It's not the first time when we were staying at your hotel and last time when we arrived we felt like home. The great and main role of course is your friendly and very kind hotel staff. We wand to say a big Thank You for their nice attitude, because they are the ones we meet when we arrive and last when we say Goodbye.
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.
Beautiful location overlooking the sea/beach. Incredibly clean and well appointed with plenty of towels, kitchen accessories, laundry, TV, and outside furniture. Central to all major Sao Miguel sights via car. Great seafood restaurant in walking distance from the house. We had a very relaxing and memorable stay here!
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.
Practical y comfortable apartment very well located in Ribeira Grande, in a very calm neighborhood, walking distance both from the city center and Santa Barbara beach. The apartment is very bright and spacious. Jaime allowed us to check-in earlier than the official time and has been responsive during our stay.
Amazing location! Couldn't choose better - probably the best hotel on the island. We booked other hotel first (five stars) and our friends told us not to make the same mistake as they did. We booked Santa Barbara Eco Beach Resort according to their recommendation and I think we owe them a nice bottle of wine.
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.
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.
Amazing hosts and lovely B&B atmosphere. They were welcoming, accommodating, and offered helpful insight into our different travel plans. We would highly recommend this location as a base to explore Azores!
