Quinta dos Peixes Falantes, hotel in Ribeira Grande

Located on the north coast of São Miguel Island, Quinta dos Peixes Falantes offers accommodations in Ribeira Grande, 11 mi from Ponta Delgada.

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.

Casa da Praia dos Moinhos, hotel in Ribeira Grande

Casa da Praia dos Moinhos is a recently renovated vacation home in Ribeira Grande where guests can make the most of the spa and wellness center and open-air bath.

The house is well equipped, perfectly located close to the beach, and nicely decorated. The common areas (kitchen and living room) were the ones were we spent most of the time. The house has also an external patio where you can have dinner if the weather permits. You also have a small terrace overlooking the beach. The property is located in a very small village with one restaurant and one bar. If you need groceries, you have to go a bit further away by car. The kitchen is extremely equipped. It allowed us to cook and bake at home when needed. The house was in perfect conditions when we arrived. Despite not having met the hosts, we were in contact with them for several things. They always replied promptly. We highly recommend it.

    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.

    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.

    The property was well maintained with beautiful views throughout. The staff were super friendly and always ready to help when needed and offer suggestions of things to do and see. The room was clean and with cleanings as often as you would like. One thing we really appreciated was the towels that could be borrowed for use at the hot springs. The hotel was also well located in the town with everything within walking distance. Another big bonus was the option of paid laundry services, they were quick and efficient.

    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.

    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.

    the view is amazing, the location is easy to reach and it is not too crowded around the hotel. Facilities are clean and great. The staff is super friendly and helpful (by far most of them). The bar staff and the bar food was amazing! everybody behind the reception was lovely to interact with as well. Indoor and outdoor pool was very enjoyable and the rooms were really clean and comfy.

    This place is incredible. The room was stunning, the food was fabulous, the staff were so attentive. They give you a mobile phone to ask questions or request whatever you want whenever you want! They left a cake and champagne on arrival for my partners birthday. The views are beautiful, this place has it all. My favourite hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Highly recommend

    Incredible location. One of the most beautiful beaches ever and crazy fun cool snack bar above it. Gorgeous pool lots of chairs and relaxing places. The Jacuzzi on our patio was fabulous. And we got an incredible couples massage at the spa. Food was very Portuguese, but also unique and fresh mostly from on site.

    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 house is big and very pleasant. Ribeira Grande is a wonderful city to be in. It has two nice beaches, one of which, Areal de Santa Barbara, is probably one of the most beautiful in the whole island. There are also several nice restaurants to go to nearby. All in all, we loved to be there for our whole stay.

    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.

    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.
