Set just less than 1 km from Praia do Monte Verde, Areal de Santa Bárbara Guest House provides accommodation in Ribeira Grande with access to a garden, barbecue facilities, as well as a shared...

It was quite nice accommodation near Ribeira Grande. The bathroom was common with other rooms, it is a little bit uncomfortable, but there are 4 rooms for 2 bathrooms, one upstairs and one downstairs. The bed is not too good yet. The breakfast was very basic, I’d like to have some vegetable.

Home Sweet Home, hotel in Porto Formoso

Featuring mountain views, Home Sweet Home provides accommodation with a garden and a patio, around 15 km from Pico do Carvao.

Very spacious and comfortable apartment for the whole family or larger group. Having a rental car the location was excellent to reach any place of interest on the island. There is also a bus stop across the main road but we have never used it. Great communication with the owner through the Whatsup. Overall we had a very nice stay.

Casa do Contador - Suites & Pool, hotel in Porto Formoso

Offering accommodation with air conditioning, Casa do Contador - Suites & Pool is set in Ponta Delgada, 600 metres from Portas da Cidade. Santuario Nossa Senhora da Esperanca is 1.1 km away.

The facility has been well maintained and was very clean. Its location was perfect and quiet. Appreciated being able to stow our luggage before check in on the first day. The picnic basket breakfasts delivered to our rooms were generous in amount and varied. I liked eating in our room as a Covid safety measure and the option to have a coffee or orange infused water from the lobby at any time. Loved that the room was virtually scent-free so was thankful cleaning and laundry products used made this possible and that the windows were operational. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Thank you for the liquor gift box!

    The location was great! Just a 2 minute walk to the beach and the little village itself was absolutely adorable. The house had everything you need (we stayed for a week) and has a lot of space. Key collection was very easy and the hosts gave us great tips for sightseeing. Definitely recommend! :)

    The sign of a good host is how they deal with a problem…the washer leaked and the host was straight there (late at night) to sort things out. Cannot complain at all…..very good house with excellent service.

    We had the most incredible stay, the house is really well equipped, we had everything we needed and way more. The view alone is amazing and then you have this wonderful terrace to enjoy it. Host was super engaging and responsive, we felt really well cared for. Porto Formoso is a quiet village, perfect for a secluded stay but perfectly situated to visit all corners of the island at the same time. We could have stayed forever!

    This apartment is just perfect: clean, spacious and comfortable for a family of 4, well equipped, in a great position (close to everything but in a quiet location), with good and fast wifi, and the view is just amazing - it was hard to leave. Also, the host is really kind and helpful!
