We had a wonderful one-week stay at Margarita House. The apartment was comfortable and welcoming, and we especially appreciated having a bathtub—a rare treat in Europe! The bed was incredibly cozy, and we slept so well. The views from the apartment were beautiful, and the host was very responsive and easy to communicate with. Overall, a lovely stay that we’d happily recommend.

Staying at the Margarida House Stone apartment was excellent!From the minute we booked the apartment, to arrival, to departure; the host was attentive and helpful. I strongly recommend this apartment even if you don’t have a vehicle to travel to and from. You are surrounded by many local shops and activities to enjoy!

Great location of this 3rd floor apartment that we used as a base to explore the central and western side of the island. Walking distance to a walkable beach, several casual restaurants, supermarket, laundromat. Apartment itself is good size, comfortable space, nice patio. Have to walk up 3 flights of stairs, no elevator, which worked well for us. Would stay here again.

Excellent spot for a home base for exploring the island. Located in a quieter urban area with a good amount of local amenities. Close to the supermarket/restaurants/town center and the Beach is a 2 minute walk. Parking right across from the building. The apartment has everything you need and then some if you're planning on cooking your meals. Having a coffee on the patio was a nice way to start the day as well. Honestly, its a hidden gem of a spot.

Margarida House

A lovely one bedroom apartment. On the top floor, so nice views of the mountains from the terrace. Very well equipped. Alvaro was always there to answer any queries. We were very comfortable on our 11 night stay. Very central location in Ribeira Grande, so easy to walk to the beach, restaurants and supermarket. We LOVED Sao Miguel, and will be back!
