Vila Gale Porto Ribeira

When I arrived, the roads were closed for San Joao and the airshow, so I dragged my luggage down a winding path by myself for a good 1.1Km. Honestly, it is a bit tiring getting here. I stayed here to have better access to the San Joao festivity but it is quiet and not that near the city centre, so you have to walk a good 15-20 minutes (unless you take bus 500). Maybe basics like slippers, tissue paper and a kettle can be provided? The staff are very helpful.

We had a nice stay at hotel italia! Everyday they clean your rooms and the staff are friendly. Wifi is good too! Bfast is simple but goos

If you are looking for enjoying the old part of the city without the crowds, this hotel right on the river is appealing. Simple rooms, while cleverly named after noted artists. Whether river or garden, each room holds a nice view. Staff very helpful; breakfast that comes with the room is an ample buffet of local specialties and decent coffee

Comfortable room with welcoming reception staff. May be more attention with availability of basic 4* hotel toiletries. Nice location with a 20 minutes walk to Ribeira, historic and action spot.
