Guests at Quinta do Passo can enjoy the Monte Verde beach just a 2-minute walk or benefit from the sun terrace. Santa Barbara Beach is 2.2 km from the accommodation, while Ponte dos Oito Arcos is 500 metres away.

Very lovely place quite in the center of the island and in the old town of Ribeira Grande. It has it's own parking spots and the self check-in smooth, so you don't have to know exactly when you arrive to get the keys. The three houses are well designed, so you don't really see the others as you sit on your porch. In April, using the pool was bit cold for us, but the children didn't seem to mind.

    Great ocean cliff location on famous Santa Barbara surf black sand beach. Wilderness at its best in a green park immersed in Azores nature at its best. Great attention to eco sustainable details in main areas and restaurant, dominated by wood and natural elements, same as in the rooms.

    The weekend in this home was a dream come true. The sound of waves lulled us to sleep, and the sunrise/sunset views were magical. Truly a haven of relaxation and tranquility. With a gorgeous panoramic ocean view, and less than a 5 minute walking distance to the sandy shores, this location offered the ultimate beach experience in a slice of paradise. Thank You Inês and Luís

    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.

    Beautiful house with an amazing garden! As it’s right on the beach, we loved walking out the backdoor with our surf boards or a glass of wine to watch the sunset. Carlos was very happy to help us out with everything and made our stay super comfortable.

    I'd say that it's your typical surf house, similar to other ones I've found in Portugal. It's very close to the main surfing spot from Sao Miguel: the Santa Barbara Beach. There's a shared living area, a kitchen and an outdoor terrace at the ground floor, the rooms are upstairs. The size of the room and bathroom was good. The balcony, despite not being too large, was overlooking the ocean to the left, so you could hear the waves. It was fair value for the money.

    Perfect location on the first line to the ocean. During summer you can see sunset directly to the ocean, just from swimming pool or from restaurant. Swimming pool also have ocean view. They have an indoor swimming pool also. Room was very clean, good. Breakfasts were very good. I recommend to take room with ocean view, because from city it could be a little bit louder on the morning.
