Quinta Rico
About
On Terceira, Quinta Rico (AL) sits at Caminho do Concelho n°21 Quatro Ribeiras, 9760-351, Portugal, on the island's northern coast.

Quinta Rico (AL) is known for its rural quinta setting in Quatro Ribeiras, where the pace is set by the surrounding farmland and the nearby coast rather than by resort crowds. First-time visitors should expect a quiet, self-contained stay with the essentials handled and the island's northern shore close at hand. A 4.6 out of 5 average across 50 reviews reflects a following that has grown steadily rather than through passing traffic. The website at http://localrico.com/ carries the venue's own information for anyone planning a visit.
Terceira stays green in every season, and the warmest, driest weeks fall in summer. Portuguese is the main language, spoken with distinctive island accents and local words. Limpets, tuna, grilled fish and caldeirada fish stews are common, and most islands make their own cheese.
Reaching Quatro Ribeiras from Angra do Heroísmo or Praia da Vitória is straightforward by road, and the nearby villages of Biscoitos, São Mateus and Altares make the northern coast easy to explore. Whale-watching trips from several ports bring sightings of sperm whales, dolphins and seabirds such as Cory's shearwater. Quinta Rico (AL) gives first-time visitors a northern Terceira base with the island's main towns within reach.
