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.

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.
I loved the sleek design. The setting just above the half mile long walking beach was beautiful. We enjoyed the spaciousness of Retreat 2 and the private hot tub. Because the late September weather was extremely changeable we didn't swim in the cool but very beautiful pool, but when the sun shone we enjoyed views from various chaise lounge. Breakfasts were terrific and dinner was mostly very good.
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!
Don't think I could have chosen better in terms of location. Perfect - away from the busiest parts of the island, close to the beach with beautiful sea view and a supermarket just across the road. The room was great, beds were really comfortable, loved the indoor swimming pool in particular, enjoyed playing pool, food was great, friendly, helpful staff. Would definitely recommend.
The apartment is beautiful and has all the ameneties we needed. Lovely welcome basket and they also dropped some cake over to us the night before we left. Really near to Lagoa de Fogo, Caldera Velha, Cascatas and Ribeira Grande. Didn't use the pool as it was too cold but would be lovely in the summer. Place was really big and we could cook a few meals. Perfect stay!
The entire team at the hotel was amazing! I travel often and a lot and I can say that this was definitely one of the most pleasant experiences in my travel memories. Compliments to the cooks who prepared a very tasty breakfast! We also really liked a shared kitchen, it felt like home. It's a shame I didn't get to try the pool.
Beautiful location overlooking the sea/beach. Incredibly clean and well appointed with plenty of towels, kitchen accessories, laundry, TV, and outside furniture. Central to all major Sao Miguel sights via car. Great seafood restaurant in walking distance from the house. We had a very relaxing and memorable stay here!
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.
The location of Ribeira Grande is great as it is very central to the island.
The calmness of the house in the city Center but on a calm street and on top of the river!
Few minutes walk from everything, the beach, supermarkets, restaurants and half an hour drive to the stunning Lagoa do Fogo and Caldeira Velha!
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!

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 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.
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!
Amazing hosts and lovely B&B atmosphere. They were welcoming, accommodating, and offered helpful insight into our different travel plans. We would highly recommend this location as a base to explore Azores!
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.
