Hotels near Graciosa Airport - GRW, Santa Cruz da Graciosa

Everything was lovely, very quaint, clean and quiet. The lady who ran the hotel was very friendly and helpful, she even did some clothes washing for me at a very reasonable price. The only thing I would say that needs improving is the mattress and pillows, these were not comfortable. I am vegetarian and the two restaurants very near the hotel were excellent, Costa Do Sol and Jale. But if you are vegan, you will find eating out impossible!

This is a small island, not touristic at all. Small houses scattered across the island but very, very few people. For every 20 buildings you may find a human. Mostly local workers taking care of their fields and animals. If you are looking for a peaceful place to go, this is it! Amazingly there seems to be internet wherever you go (3G/4G). The houses have thick walls so the WiFi isn’t likely to be available around the house. As far as places to visit go, the landscape is awesome everywhere . There are lizards in the walls everywhere to make you company. You will need a car to wander about. Public transportation doesn’t seem to be available periodically.

Small but very green tanquil island, still not discovered by tourists. Compared to San Miguel island Graciosa is more rural, remote and has much smaller population. Very few people speak English, however everyone is amazingly friendly and ready to help event not understanding the words. Graciosa is also more diverse - we hiked across the island and the scenery and plants were changing almost every kilometer.
