The most wonderful stay

We had the most incredible stay. The views were fantastic from the hotel/room. The breakfast included was amazing, you need to have dinner at the restaurant. The staff at this hotel were incredible and made the stay even more special. We look forward to staying here again when we next visit Madeira.

Not enough superlatives to describe this hotel

We stayed in the cascades room. Absolutely beautiful . Breakfast on terrace with gorgeous fresh and delicious food. Everything here here is quality- food, service, craftsman furnishings and fittings, fabulous tended grounds. Loved our little Levada walk around the room to the river source. Everything so secluded. Views are incredible.

Amazing hotel

Our stay at Socalco Nature was truly unforgettable. The hotel is ideally located above the town to relax and enjoy the beautiful views. The rooms are welcoming, with lovely big windows to sit in and look out onto the vineyards. The staff are incredibly welcoming and go above and beyond to ensure you have the perfect stay. We didn't want to leave, and I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for relaxation, delicious food, and beautiful views.

It's a beautiful place and the people are lovely. For me a highlight was the breakfast. You get it every day to the table - sometimes new things but also the classical things in a very high quality. The rooms are bright and modern.

We had an incredible stay at Socalco! We stayed in the cave room and it was a beautiful and unique experience. The room was comfortable and the property grounds are gorgeous. We had an incredibly relaxing stay- a perfect retreat after hiking around the island. The staff gave excellent recommendations for places to explore. I highly recommend getting dinner at their restaurant. We ended up eating there both nights of our stay because we had such an incredible experience the first night. Everything is made fresh and includes food from their garden. Their is no menu, the chef changes what he makes daily.

We stayed here three nights and found the staff friendly and helpful. We had an amazing view! The gardens are lovely and they grow right along the paths. We had a delicious dinner and the breakfast was wonderful. We could not make one breakfast and they packed us a picnic lunch which was wonderful. We would absolutely stay here again!

Beautifully clean and presented, 20 min walk into Calheta beach. Fantastic staff. Breakfast is freshly prepared daily and is delicious. They also have a restaurant for evening meals, and the food is good, but nothing mind blowing, we expected a bit more as it was offered as a ‘tasting menu’, but that’s the only downside. We stayed for 5 days in the Groto room and it was huge and well appointed. Would return! I was ill on the last day and we asked to check out as late as possible so I could recover, they did their best to help and we checked out 3 hours after time, thank you!

Pros: location, really calm, the views from the room over the vinewayrds and the sea. The pool and the amazing restaurant at a very decent price. Cons: no space to hang wet stuff when coming back from the pool or a hike, nothing dries out in the bathroom. The breakfast starts at 8am which is wayyyy too late when you want to hike and it's not buffet which makes it waste a lot of things and is not quick. The staff also should be able to make restaurants recommendations outside of tbe hotel.

Socalco definitely surprised me. A place that is a bit harder to get to but it’s well worth it. The best part of the hotel is the fact that it’s also a mini-winery where they grow the grapes that makes the two local wines they offer. Breakfast is excellent with a samples of a lot of different things like cheese and deli plate, sour dough bread and eggs my way. Dinner options is also great with a selection of 3/4/6 course meal. Given Octavio Frietas is a Michelin star chef, his menu at Razao is equally as good. The farm to table concept is excellent and offer a lot of fresh ingredients. My all time favourite is the sour dough bread where you just can’t stop eating it. Only thing is that the area is hilly and finding parking close to the hotel may be difficult if you happen to get there on a night where there are a lot of restaurant goers.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The view is amazing, we could see the ocean from the bed. We didn't book a room with a private 'outside', which I did miss a little but luckily they have created some nice spots to sit down and relax. The staff is very friendly and the food is very tasty. We had dinner there once and we really enjoyed it. We also liked the house cats. To get to the accommodation you have to go up a steep hill. The turn that you must make next is quite sharp. They have two parking spaces, so you can choose based on the direction you came from. Not a lot of traffic there luckily.

We would like to share our experience in Socalco as is was unforgettable! From the moment you arrive you welcomed with big smiles and easy going chatter, welcome drink and the tour of the hotel including the kitchen! And the kitchen, what a beautiful and unique place that is that Andrea, the chef created with his colleagues! You must try their cooking classes as it is an experience and a half! Making the bread was my favourite! I also was lucky enough to join their chef for dinner service and it was the most exhilarating experience that I’ve ever had and will never forget. The food is stunning, every breakfast and dinner is fabulous and the afternoon cakes are to die for! Everything is made from natural, locally grown and organic ingredients and it’s so tasty!! If you’re a foodie, like my husband and I, you’ll enjoy the stay there! The hotel itself is situated on the cliff and it has fabulous views, the rooms are modern and comfortable! We loved it and we will be back!! Special thank you to Liliana, Andrea and other staff -sorry we don’t remember all of your names! Big hugs Anna and Luddie
