I have spent the last 30 years touring performances to different parts of the world and have stayed in at least 2 different places a month. As a designer I often find myself redesigning the accommodation where I am staying, reorganising spaces that are clumsily arranged. The apartment where we stayed was the most incredible space, beautiful and comfortable, I wished that we had stayed in this beautiful place for the whole of our 3 week residency at Ribeiro Grande.
This is also the only time that I have been inspired to write a review.
The Volcanic Charming house was magical. The staff were exemplary. The grounds crew worked everyday to make the landscaping was perfect. We enjoyed the fruit trees on the property. Breakfast was lovely and had many options. I would go back for sure. Thanks for an amazing stay for my family and I.
Fantastic house with an oasis of a garden with pool. Great spacious accommodation and staff who go the extra mile to be helpful with advice and assistance with booking trips, restaurants etc. Great buffet breakfasts and easy parking.
Probably the best holiday accommodation we have ever stayed in!
This was a great stay and beautiful property. It is walkable to the town but a bit longer of a walk - still a great location. The room updates and whole feel are so lovely. The view was fantastic as we had a ocean view. Breakfast was yummy. The pool was a bit too cold for me during June but i saw some enjoying it. The advertisement stated that there is reception 9am to 9am but noticed there was often the “we will be right back” sign up often so keep that in mind.
What an amazing place to stay, I cannot say enough great things about the Volcanic Charming House. It is such a great place to stay while visiting the Azores. From check in we were greeted with a very friendly staff that spoke english extremely well they gave us a quick tour of the place and showed up the amenities. This property is in a safe neighborhood of Riberia Grande which is conveniently located close to a lot of things to do from Waterfalls to Geo thermal Hots Springs within a 20-30 min drive. It was nice to have easy access for parking our rental car beside the building as well. While there the staff were extremely helpful and knowledgable in deciding on what we should see on the island and what to do during foggy weather days. The rooms were modern and spacious and were cleaned daily. And the free breakfast every morning had everything you could ever want. I would definitely recommend this Resort to anyone visiting the island and would definitely stay here again!
We stayed here for five days in July. The place is clean, modern, and conveniently located. The staff is friendly, helpful, and considerate. I locked my key in the room and called them after midnight to help us out. They were responsive and helped us promptly. Excellent breakfast spread, access to the well-equipped and clean kitchen, espresso machine, and filtered water. Parking on-site. We loved our stay, and we would have no problem staying here again if visiting the island.
