Atlantico Apartments, hotel in Ribeira Grande

Located in Ribeira Grande, near Praia do Monte Verde and Ponte dos Oito Arcos, Atlantico Apartments is a recently renovated property, featuring free WiFi, pool with a view and garden.

This is the best apartment we’ve ever stayed! 100% Recomended and we’ll return here for sure. The apartment with 5 star conveniences had everything we need: starting from the bathrobes and slippers till the products for breakfast from the hosts as we arrived late. That was very sweet. Peter and Zita are very nice and helpful. Thank you very much for the hospitality. And the best part of the stay is the garden with amazing trees and landscape. The view to the green hill and birds singing, this is a paradise :)

    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.

    We had a wonderful stay. The house was really nice and clean, equipped with everything we needed. It's situated in a great location of Ribeira Grande so you can go everywhere around by walk. This location is also really convenient when you want to explore whole island by car. Parking is also possible, you can leave your car easily on the street for free. Kevin was really kind and always ready to help. He also prepared a really nice welcome package of typical Açores stuff for us. We can just recommend this place for your stay :)

    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 room was spacious, the breakfast provided every morning was delicious, the hosts were very friendly and gave lots of great recommendations, and the hosts even did our laundry and cleaned the room halfway through the stay since we were staying for 10 days. The location was great since it was in the middle of the island so it was no more than 40 minutes to get to any part of it. Ribeira Grande also had great hot springs that were 15 min away and they were our favorite!

    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!

    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!

    It was a wonderful stay. The place is by the river, a very quiet one-way road, while the center of Ribeira Grande is just around the corner. The house is furnished in local style and is super cute. We were extremely satisfied. Also, the owners always answered questions that arose quickly.

    Close proximity to the ocean - stunning beach with wonderful sunset views just around the corner. The property itself is quite modern (guess it’s been built or renovated recently), so it’s nice and clean, although rooms might have been bigger. Overall good value for money.

    We stayed here for the last few nights after spending 3 weeks jumping islands in the Azores. The hotel is modern and nice, and has good views of the beach. The facilities available are good, with 2 pools (indoor and outdoor), and a small sauna and steam room.
