This is the best apartment we’ve ever stayed! 100% Recomended and we’ll return here for sure.
The apartment with 5 star conveniences had everything we need: starting from the bathrobes and slippers till the products for breakfast from the hosts as we arrived late. That was very sweet.
Peter and Zita are very nice and helpful. Thank you very much for the hospitality.
And the best part of the stay is the garden with amazing trees and landscape. The view to the green hill and birds singing, this is a paradise :)

Warm wellcome on arrival. Walter, the host is very friendly and helpful. Ribeira grande with his central location has very good connections to the motorways to explore the different sides of the island. Good whale touring from Rabo de Peixe with futurismo. We had a nice stay.

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.
The room was spacious, the breakfast provided every morning was delicious, the hosts were very friendly and gave lots of great recommendations, and the hosts even did our laundry and cleaned the room halfway through the stay since we were staying for 10 days. The location was great since it was in the middle of the island so it was no more than 40 minutes to get to any part of it. Ribeira Grande also had great hot springs that were 15 min away and they were our favorite!
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!
Great view onto beach and sea.
Beautiful design of hotel.
Breakfast was very tasty but the menu didn't change. It was good for a short stay but would be too repetitive for a longer stay.
The hotel organised some great activities for us, including canyoning and whale watching although this took some communication as the experiences email address given on the hotel website is no longer in use (although still shown on the website).
This property is located in the centre of Ribeira Grande. This apartment was equipped with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The views are overlooking the water and you can see the whole shoreline, it was amazing to wake up to every morning. Overall me and my family really enjoyed staying here and we will definitely be back to book the Monte Azul Penthouse
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.
We absolutely loved this property. It was easy walking to the beach, pool, restaurants etc.
The kitchen had everything we needed to cook in and it was a bonus having a washing machine. We loved that they had a basket of local goodies filled with local products. We loved the back patio too.
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.
Exceptional and unexpected location in the middle of Ribeira Grande. Very nice entrance with flowers, portuguese stonepath, a little paradise. Three little houses but private enough, you don't see the neighbours. Eduardo was very helpful and gave some very good tips, very nice to talk to.
Beautiful house with a garden, swimming pool and a big kitchen, nicely decorated and clean rooms, very helpful and friendly staff, easy check-in, excellent breakfast and brunch and they even lend us orange towels to go to the hotsprings! Best hotel we stayed in during in Sao Miguel:)
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.
Everything was perfect. Best place I stayed on the Azores. The host welcomed me and provided me with a map with his favorite places and restaurants marked. The bed was so comfortable. The place was clean and in a beautiful setting.
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.
We can only recommend this cottage! It was awesome. The interior design beautiful, the people sooo nice, we even had a welcome gift ob the table and the garden is just stunning! If you go to Ribeira Grande, stay there!
This is the nicest hotel we ever stayed at! The beach, pool, and food were beautiful! Our 11 month old was spoiled by all the staff. We were pleasantly surprised they even had a baby bath tub for us to use.
Very nice appartment in very center of Ribeira Grande. Perfect and helpful owners. Clean and well equipped appartment. Definitely recommend to stay here!
