Great pool, convenient location, great for families.

Claire United States of America

This was the perfect place to stay in Ribiera Grande. It had a well-equipped kitchen so we were able to do some cooking, and the grounds and villa itself were absolutely gorgeous and comfortable. Nuno was a super responsive and caring host and the cleaning lady was very helpful as well! We were sad to see our time there end!

Lauren United States of America

Location perfect, Houses are really nice, super clean, we were not expecting to have the house clean and the beads done every day, so that was super. Lots of towels, kitchen was good, super hot water, fully recommend for visiting são miguel.

Adrian Portugal

Fantastic location, an oasis in the center of the city - close to everything (city center, restaurants, beach, etc). Nice pool (shared with only 2 other apartments) with beach chairs, terrace, large gas BBQ in the beautifully kept garden, private parking, modern and well-equipped apartment with good facilities (including airco), there is even an outside stairlift chair to get from the street level to the level of the apartments/garden for people who have difficulties with stairs, etc..

Rudy Belgium

Great place to stay, clean & cute. Self check-in and and a nice basket of local product upon arrival. Good Wifi also.

Manuel Portugal

The apartments are new and the setting is lovely. Very pretty inside the small compound of 3 units. We only ate our breakfast at the unit so didn't do any cooking. It was nice to have a mini apartment as opposed to staying in a hotel room for 5 nights. Wifi worked great. Nuno was very responsive and helpful. We appreciated him taking care of having some laundry done for us. There are 2 parking spaces behind the gate and 2 designated parking spaces outside the unit exclusively for guests staying at Quinta do Passo. Note that Nuno does not live at this site so you do need to call him when you arrive so that you can get into the area where the units are located--units are behind a locked gate. Bathroom has a very large shower and the unit is very nicely decorated. Ribeira Grande is centrally located and makes a good location to drive to all the places all over the island. There is a beach nearby.

Linda United States of America

Spacious, loved both of the outdoor spaces! Very comfortable and quiet place. We wish we had more time.

Erica United States of America

Excellent stay in a great apartment! Very clean and spacious with a small kitchen and living room. We were in the larger apartment with two bedrooms, highly recommended. Pool was great and no noise. Large outside area and a grill

Sindri Iceland

Great location and really quite pool area! There was a nice extra surprise with a welcome hamper containing milk, butter, toast and some biscuits! The kitchen was really well equipped, the TV had Netflix and overall, it was just a really great stay!

Eshani United Kingdom

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.
