The hosts were very pleasant and welcoming. We had a very good time at Terceira, having Quinta Rico as out base. The swimming pool and jacuzzi were a really nice plus. Perfect for families or groups of friends.

Hello I'm Hugo Rico, son of the current owners of Quinta Rico. I´m the person responsible for the bookings and to greet our guests upon arrival. For any questions our help I will be glad to respond.
Quinta Rico is located on the northern Coast of Terceira Island, in the small village of Quatro Ribeiras. It’s situated on a rocky massive seafront at high elevation, and is crossed by four small rivers. According to history, this was the landing place of the Portuguese explorers and the first settlement of the island. Quinta Rico is located about 250m from the village Centre. About 200 meters from the market and 500 meters from the bathing area of Quatro Ribeiras commonly called as natural pools. These natural pools are in a high cliff zone, which is classified as a Community Interest Zone and is surrounded by abundant endemic flora typical of forests in the Macaronesian laurel forest. These pools provide good conditions for bathing and are equipped with toilets and showers facilities, bar and surveillance. Despite its northern location, the Farm is only 14 km from Lajes Airport and 17km from the town of Praia da Vitória. The town of Angra do Heroismo is located about 21 km south taking just 25 min drive.
