The location was great! Quiet area and close to the beach. Great on-site restaurant and breakfast every morning. The staff were all so friendly and welcoming. The rooms were comfortable with air conditioning. There was a balcony with great views of the coast. It was close to a food market that had a bunch of little options for easy dining as well as a grocery store near by to get snacks and such for the beach. Truly a wonderful property! I would recommend to anyone to stay here

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.

It was a wonderful and unforgettable adventure. Information on how to access the house was provided ahead of time, which made our arrival very comfortable. The accommodations were exactly as depicted in the photographs and brought us a lot of positive emotions. We had the opportunity to spend time with friends in the spacious kitchen and on the terraces with fantastic views.

Extremely comfortable, very private, all in all great place for relaxation and leisure.
The staff was very attentive and sincere. We had a delicious breakfast at the Resort daily. The beach was an integral part of a relaxing stay. Once you become accustomed to a round-about, you'll be fine driving. The city of Ribeira Grande is very walkable too.

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...
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.
The place was cozy and the host was gracious even though we forgot to ask for an extra bed earlier. The location was great being almost on the beach and lots of free parking around. We likes staying in this town riberia grande more so than ponte degada if I had to be honest. It had a bigger variety of food and felt more down to earth. It's right in the middle of many scenic viewpoints as well. The shower had nice water pressure and was quite delightful after some of our hikes. All in all, very happy to have stopped by here.
Our accommodations at "Quinta do Passo" in the town of Ribeira Grande on the Azores were exceptional. Wonderful design, modern, well maintained, clean and all amenities available.
Perfect location with yet private inner court with pool and amazing garden. Rear patio area and grill as well.
Key pickup and communication were impeccable. Rooms were cleaned twice during our stay with a change of towels.
Host, Eduarda e Nuno Costa got back to us within minutes of any question we had and resolved all inquires.
Everything was wonderful including our hosts. It was the most relaxing stay we have had in many years. The floral beauty of the gardens are without equal. The level of comfort was outstanding. The hosts were always available to answer our questions and provided us with many gardening tips. If you are looking for a Hotel, this is not the place. If you are looking for an apartment in a rural setting, centrally convenient location with peace and serenity, this is absolutely the place.
This was our fifth and last accommodation during our honeymoon in the Azores and the one we stayed at the longest. The hotel is ideally located in Ribeira Grande, not far from any of S. Miguel's landmarks. It is modern, very well maintained and the staff is friendly and helpful. We appreciated the honeymoon surprise left in our room very much! Extremely good value for money during the off-season when we stayed and highly recommended to anyone staying in the area!
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.
The house is very clean and comfortable, with a shared kitchen, shared bathroom, terrace and living room; the breakfast is great! It is located very close to the amazing Santa Barbara Beach and also a bus station and a nice bar are close by (ribeira grande center is a 20-minute walk, though). Caroline was super nice and helpful! I would go there again.
We enjoyed our stay in the villa. The location is perfect in Ribeira Grande, just 10 mins walk to the local beach and pools and 20 mins walk to Continente supermarket. Thanks to Daniel for welcoming us and for morning bread. That’s hands down, the top notch facility in San Miguel to relax and enjoy surroundings.
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.
Everything was perfect and special in the hotel. This hotel is unique and exceeded our expectations, wish we have stayed more days there, the decoration, location, the treat…
Special thanks to Claudia the guest relations and the twins who were extremely kind and helpful!
Best staff in the island.
Everything about Santa Barbara Eco Beach Resort was exceptional. The concierge helped us book a rental car and plan our itinerary during the stay, the food and staff were amazing, and the location to the beach is unbeatable.
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!
The apartment was located right at the center of Ribeira Grande with a lovely view to the main square. Was well decorated and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Great place to stay in Sao Miguel.
The breakfast buffet was fantastic. The front desk staff were very helpful with answering questions, and booking dinner reservations. Enjoyed being able to purchase a bottle of wine at the hotel
It was a personal service charming hotel. The staff was amazing and the breakfast as well. If you want a huge variety with all fresh made food this is it.
