I didn't realize that "Praia da Vitoria" is actually not only the name of a beach, but the name of an entire municipality, so some parts of Praia da Vitoria are not really near the beach. For instance, the apartment I rented was said to be in "Praia da Vitoria," but it was actually in a town called Lajes, which is some distance from the beach, but just happens to be within the municipality which is called "Praia da Vitoria". I wound up really loving the place I rented, and the little town, but because I was there for just 1 night, I literally never saw the beach. When you rent, if you were hoping to be near the beach (especially if you don't have a car), be sure to look carefully at the map, or specifically ask the host how close the property is to the beach (walking distance, 10-minute drive, etc.)

A very beautiful town. Lots of different street mosaics, some very nice shops. Main street is a climb. Several nice restaurants and bars/cafes run by locals. We stayed away from the tourist restaurants and higher prices. Very quiet when we were there. Waterfront paths lovely. Beach is being revamped (June 2024). Very nice marina. A very peaceful place. Some interesting historical monuments and other things. A perfect place to stay and if you rent a car, it's very easy to visit all other areas of this small island. It took us 50 minutes to get from Praia da Vitoria to Santa Barbara at the south side of the island. Angra is wonderful to visit, lots to see, but we were very happy we stayed in Praia da Vitoria.

We were exhausted when we arrived. Because it was raining, we enjoyed a quiet nap. When the rain passed, we walked to the market through the residential streets admiring the architecture and gardens. We enjoyed a simple meal at 'home', as the apartment felt like home instantly.

Good food and plenty of places to eat for people with dietary requirements, really good Chinese food on the hill to the beach as well local fish. Nice people in local shops and bars very polite. Really good value for money as nothing is too expensive . Great eco ethics on global warming across the Island , paper bags, not too much plastics and no rubbish. Enjoyed the nature , bird watching, dolphins and whale sightings .

Praia da Vitoria is such a wonderful place. I love it because it is not too crowded and is very peaceful, with all the gorgeous views, the beaches, the many places to shop the many places to just stop and grab a drink or a bite to eat without having to go too far. If you love to stay in a place where you can just relax, enjoy the beach, the views, food and still have the opportunity to travel to the many beautiful sites available, this is a great place for you. My husband and I come every year, will be back this next July again for about 3 weeks. We don't care for the crazy, loud and busy city places, so this is the perfect place for us.

small, cosy beach town, nothing much to see or do. For me it was'nt really worth the visit, but i's close to the airport, so OK for 1n stay some nice restaurants (o pescador & la barca for instance)
