Apartment holiday rentals in Ribeira Grande

Apartment is beautiful, and the location is unbeatable. Absolutely the best location we could have asked for for a few days in the city. The host coordinated a taxi pickup for us after we checked in, which was much appreciated as we were unsure which taxi company to use (and there is no Uber on the island). Only feedback is that they use a management company and ask that you communicate via whats app for quicker response. Not a huge fan of communication outside of the Airbnb app, and response time can vary. The apartment was beautiful, in a great spot, and checkout was easy. Would stay there again.

Santa Bárbara Sea House is peaceful yet close to Ribeira Grande. The apartment is tastefully renovated, bright, very clean, and well equipped. We especially liked the two comfortable bedrooms, the open kitchen-living area, and the shared outdoor space. Silvia an her Team is a fantastic host – friendly, reliable, and easy to reach. A perfect place to relax, enjoy, and explore the island. Highly recommended!

We enjoyed our stay and felt right at home. We were welcomed in person, and there were some treats to enjoy, which was very thoughtful. The apartment is very spacious and clean. The location was great, and we were easily able to walk around town. We also had an easy time finding parking on the street behind the apartment. Miguel and Pedro were lovely hosts. They were communicative and always quick to respond. We would recommend this apartment and will stay here again if we visit again.

The stay was very pleasant, the accommodation is impeccable and as described, equipped with everything you need. Very well placed to travel all over the island. Bruno was very friendly and flexible on the arrival time. If you love dogs, you'll be happy to have a regular visit from one of them! :) I would recommend this place without hesitation.

The hosts are charming, they are attentive at all times, they have left us freshly baked bread every morning. We had some concerns about the town, but on the contrary, everything was great. Very friendly and hospitable people, everything very safe. Do not hesitate to stay in this house, it is 100% worth it for the location, the service and much more for the house.

Immaculate and great location in Furnas. Clean, comfortable apartment with well-appointed kitchen. The location was amazing just a block from Parque Terra Nostra. The Caldeiras are on the other side of town, a 10-15 minute walk. Ample street parking a short distance from the apartment. We found the washer/dryer useful. The best part for me was how quiet the penthouse was. It is on a main street, but the place is in the back of the building, and we never heard street noise or neighbors. This was my favorite place of the 3 we stayed at in Portugal, but it was my wife's second favorite, as it was smaller than the others and she found it a bit cramped.

We had a wonderful 11-night stay at this beautiful villa in São Roque, São Miguel. The central location made it easy to explore the entire island, and we loved being able to walk to several great restaurants nearby. The villa’s southern exposure offered stunning ocean views and provided a sheltered spot from the coastal winds. Inside, the space was modern, spotless, and comfortable, with two balconies that showcased the beauty of the São Roque coastline. Parking was simple and convenient. Hosts Sophia and Fernando were incredibly gracious and always available to help. We especially appreciated the thoughtful gift baskets with local Azorean treats—they were a lovely welcome. This was a perfect home base for our family and made our trip truly memorable. Highly recommended!

A magical place! The view is epic. Better than the pictures. Ana greeted us with such warmth and energy from the start of the trip and text me a bunch of wonderful recommendations. The place itself is beyond gorgeous. Peaceful. Quiet. The bed was super comfortable and so wonderful to sleep in a King after weeks of doubles. The shower is dreamy. Walk to the natural pools. Drive 20 Minutes to Lagoa da Fogo and one of our favorite hot springs. This place was beyond dreamy and highly recommend!!! Locals in the area are warm and friendly. I can’t say enough about this place. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Absolutely fantastic stay!! Everything was as advertised and José was super responsive with whatever we needed, including a flexible check in and check out when we had an early morning flight! The apartment itself is spotless and comfortable with everything you need. The included assigned parking space in the garage is clutch, as it makes it easier after a day of exploring to come home and not worry about parking. The building is quiet, safe, secure, and in a great area! I cannot recommend Jose enough and encourage anyone coming to Sao Miguel to skip the hotel and stay with Jose instead! Thanks for the great stay!

The accommodation was impeccably clean and in a comfortable and cozy decoration. The welcome basket with regional products was a very thoughtful gesture by hosts. The house has excellent soundproofing, which provides a peaceful rest. It is very well equipped, with plenty of utensils available. I highly recommend this site and will undoubtedly return at the next opportunity.

Nice comfortable apartment. Well situated with supermarket nearby and other amenities. Practical location for visiting the island. Easy parking in front of building. We had a great stay there. Nice terrace for sunny days.

After many years of using vacation apartments, this vacation apartment has made a particularly positive impression. The owners have gone to great lengths to let the love of detail unfold. We felt very well taken care of here and have to say that it was really one of the best apartments we have ever been allowed to visit. The use of the garden was really a dream and the view gigantic. The apartment's furnishings were equally exceptional. There was everything you need for cooking. I can only recommend everyone to get an idea of the place for themselves and to book this apartment. At this point, we would like to thank the landlords once again for their extraordinarily generous hospitality.

Mariana has been very warm with us. Our stay was wonderful ! Everything matched up with what we were expecting ! Thanks a lot 🙂

5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our stay was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless and welcoming. The home was even better than expected—immaculately clean, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything we could possibly need. It felt cozy and peaceful, like a true home away from home. The host was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and responsive, making sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed throughout our stay. It really made a difference and added such a personal touch to the experience. My three friends and I felt relaxed, safe, and truly cared for. Whether we were sharing meals, exploring the area, or just unwinding, the space brought us joy and made our trip so memorable. Highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a special place to stay—we would absolutely return in a heartbeat!

All was perfect. We suggest changing the towels they were a bit ripped.

We absolutely loved our stay! The apartment has so much charm – it’s part of a beautifully renovated old building, combining traditional character with stylish design. It’s located in a little village, which made the experience feel even more special and authentic. The apartment is perfectly equipped with everything you need, and we got some nice local gifts. The large garden is peaceful and great for relaxing. It's also the perfect base for exploring the west of the island, including the breathtaking Sete Cidades. We will definitely come back.

The place was nice, clean, and met all my expectations. Would stay again!

Beautiful location. Sea view. Big sliding glass doors and wonderful black out blinds. Brilliant shower. Gualter and his wife were perfect hosts, helping with local convenient car hire and taxi too. Always there to help make the trip smooth and special. Great hosts, great apartment, great location. There are sea water swimming pools within 5 minutes walk! We loved this.

The apartment is beautiful, it is attached to their house but you have a section of farm that seems like it is all to yourselves. The fresh vegetables and fruit were delicious, it is located so central you can go to either end of the island easily. The restaurant was incredible!

André was very helpful from beginning to the end of our stay. Always available if any help or advice was needed. Extremely friendly in communication and checking in with us during our stay to make sure all was okay. Amazing experience and great location. The hot tub was exactly what we needed at the end of an adventurous day! I recommend to anybody looking for a great experience and central location while in Sao Miguel!

Really can’t say enough positive things about this spot. Excellent location right in the heart of Ponta Delgada, walkable to everything. Clean, modern, well lit space with all the amenities, even a curated wine selection. Honestly one of the nicest AirBNBs I’ve ever stayed in and perfect for our family of 5’s stay on Sao Miguel.

Sofia's Airbnb was very comfortable and clean. She was very responsive to any questions we had. The bed was very comfortable, the furnishings were decorated tastefully. Very close to shopping (shopping mall was minutes away).

We really enjoyed our stay, the apartment is very close to a popular surf spot, it's just 1 minute walk. The apartment is very modern and having the jakuzi on the terrace was a nice experience. The communication with Ryan was very fast, when there was a problem, he helped immediately.

Bruno was very attentive and warm. As for the apartment, it's just perfect.
