    The location of The Retreat is superb. Also the food is delicious and freshly made. We upgraded to a suite and it was modern and spacious. At the moment of our visit The Retreat has been enlarged and therefore the photos were not always matching...

    It is simply the hotel with the most beautiful view I have ever had. I travel a lot and use Booking a LOT, but honestly nothing could beat this... The landscape around the Retreat is simply magical. The dinner and breakfast were great, the pool...

It is located in the mountains and 20 minutes from the center of Povoação, Ribeira Grande. To get to the hotel, you have to walk up some stairs for 15 minutes. If you have luggage, let us know in advance so that someone from the hotel can help you.
