The apartment is absolutely stunning with views over the beach. There is lots of space to store everything and everything you could possibly need! We did use some of the beach equipment.
The property agent was the best we have ever come across, really helpful and so easy to contact.
The central location meant the mist we ever travelled was 50 minutes to Cete Cidades.
Ribeira Grande does lack places to eat, which was the only disappointment, but the apartment was so relaxing we were happy to eat in.
I would recommend a stay here to anyone!

Quality Condo With a Million Dollar View
The condo great room looks like it was put together by an interior designer. Quality pieces of furniture with great blue color scheme and beach themed decor. The kitchen was great with granite counters, bar stools at the counter for socializing with the cook, and well stocked. The 2 AC units are only in the great room and master bedroom, so the other two bedrooms got warm. The balcony overlooking the ocean and sunsets left us so grateful for our having found this haven!
