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.
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.
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.
Lots of thought and care has gone into this hotel. We loved the little touches, facilities and decor. The pool and bar area is really nice and a real bonus. There are lots of options for breakfast and the staff were constantly restocking the food. Parking is also available. We only stayed for a couple days and found restaurant/bar options in town limited, so would definitely recommended making use of the kitchen facilities on site, everyone has there own fridge and cupboard space which is handy.
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 host was extremely kind and welcoming, showed me to the room, and walked me through the premises (i.e., the shared kitchen/living room, the location for breakfast). The breakfast was standard with some savory and typical breakfast granola and toast options. The room was delightful, spacious, clean, and the terrace gave a nice glimpse of the beach from the nearby fields. Parking was easy, as there's plenty of street parking right outside of the rooms.
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!
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.
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.
Amazing food, great views and very helpful staff. The hotel looks onto the most beautiful beach. The food is honestly amazing, breakfast felt like such a luxury each morning. The staff couldn’t be more helpful… this resort really feels like an oasis.
This was the perfect place for our little Azores getaway. The staff were friendly, helpful and flexible. The location was great and the breakfast had a lot of variety. The rooms and entire place were spotless. We would definitely stay here again.
Breakfast was nice, but not 5 stars hotel breakfast. Considering money value, it was OK, but we got a good price since it was an off season. The staff was excellent and really friendly and helpful.
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.
Breakfast was amazing and offered a lot of variety. The views from the hotel were spectacular. The staff is very friendly, professional and accommodating. They really made this stay special.
It has a very unique interior. The path down to the beach behind the property was very beautiful. The beach is something I didn’t see advertised but should be on the listing if not.
Very responsive and helpful host who reacted to every question or request ASAP. The accommodation is in a beautiful location near the beach in a quiet small town.
Very nice appartment in very center of Ribeira Grande. Perfect and helpful owners. Clean and well equipped appartment. Definitely recommend to stay here!
