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.

Everything was brand new and thoroughly decorated. Very cozy and colorful home. The staff was super nice and friendly. The garden is very pretty, great for exploring.

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.
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.
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.
It's a very clean and comfortable place about a 10-minute walk from the centre of Ribeira Grande. The breakfast was big enough and included lots of local products. The bed was comfortable and the wifi connection was fast. The owners are very knowledgeable about Azores and helped me in planning my hiking trips. The location is in the middle of the island, so everything was within an hour of driving.
Truly amazing house, nicely refurbished, lovely patio with large outdoor kitchen. Three terraces, two of them with sea view. Great location - Ribeira Grande just next, many places within 30 mins drive, you can reach any part of Sao Miguel within 45-50 mins. Beach some 100m only. Extremely kind and helpful owner, regularly checking if we have everything and helping us with services we need.
Rossana and her husband are the greatest people,really warm feeling from the first second I have arrived,large room,clean,big terrase,absolute privacy,great breakfast,she is making her own jams which you can taste by the breakfast and they are to die for. It is super close to the square,you can walk around the cute Ribeira Grande and not that far from the beach as well. I will be back!
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
We had the appartment, it is closely located near the swimming pool. 2 nice bedrooms, 1 with a terras, big kitchen, ...
Breakfast was delightfull, next to the pool.
Altough the hotel is in an oasis of trinquility, it was ok to play with our daughter in the swimming pool, which is always open. It was very relaxing and fun.
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.
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.
This place is centrally located in Ribeira Grande. We stayed in the apartment on the top floor with a small balcony from which you have a great sea view. The place is very clean and the very welcoming owners do serve a home made Azorean style breakfast.
Orlando the host is a very kind and available person.
The apartment we had is big, calm, functional and clean, very well situated in Ribeira Grande.
There is a common kitchen very well equipped.
Magnificent breakfast and beach - great location and value for money! Can't wait to go back there again. Would benefit from a more structured communication on the yoga/massage options.
Really lovely, well kept hotel. we used the pool and sauna a few times and ate in the restaurant which was very good. Staff were very helpful, particularly Ivo on the front desk
Exceptional all the way around. The spa, pool, food and room were first rate. If you go to the spa , get a massage from Enrique. Worth the travel to the Azores alone!
