About

Its position places it close to Furnas, Lagoa, Vila Franca do Campo and Nordeste, so travellers touring the island can call in without a long detour. A rating of 4.3 out of 5, drawn from 23 reviews, reflects how visitors have received it. The nearby places list also takes in Setes Cidades and Povoação, giving a sense of the wider ground the venue sits among.
Ribeira Grande itself provides the immediate setting, and the venue's place within that town makes it simple to fold into a day's route along the north coast. That north-coast position keeps it within reach of the island's main towns, so a stop here fits naturally into a wider circuit.
Dairy farming and cattle-rearing shape the pastureland here, so beef, butter and cheese are local staples worth seeking out. Showers and wind can arrive quickly at any time of year, so a layer helps. Whale-watching trips from several ports bring sightings of sperm whales, dolphins and Cory's shearwater.
