    A very nice hotel, with a beautiful view, friendly staff, right in the middle of a vineyard. We also had dinner there twice, very tasty. A great place to stay to explore the area and enjoy Madeira. Warning though: even if there are parking spots, they are challenging to use (quite steep).

    Pool wasn’t heated so we didn’t use it which was a shame

    We were warmly welcomed to this hotel by friendly and accommodating staff, and were told our room had been upgraded. Our room was beautiful (#5), nestled in the vineyards looking out onto the sea with a feature wall inside looking into lit up cave - the most unique room we’ve ever stayed in! The breakfast was the best hotel breakfast we had ever experienced. 95% of the vegetables are grown on site and every dish was delicious. We also had a 3 course dinner at the hotel one evening which was really special. Would recommend this hotel for anyone wanting to experience pure relaxation in a peaceful and scenic setting.

    Hotel was great; Madeira however was one of the most hectic places I have been with incredibly challenging driving. Sure, there are some special places but it sure as heck aint worth putting up with the very, very steep hills, made that much more challenging by having a stick shift.

    Daily breakfast wonderful and so was the beautifully accommodating chef and staff. Hotel immaculate. A respite...

    Beautifully set in terraced gardens with views over the ocean, the hotel is like a tiny village with little hidden spots around the property. The architecture is a nice mix and the decor very well curated.

    Minor points only: the bed was soft, not ideal for back pain. Bathroom was poorly ventilated and it made our room smell musty. Lots of steps if that’s an issue for you, within the property and to the beach. The hotel pool is very small (BUT the Calheta beach is great).

    A beautiful stop in Madeira if you want to treat yourself to a boutique, luxury experience - the views from the place and your own room are simply incomparable, the property is beautiful, staff is attentive, breakfast was great. The restaurant was good: traditional dishes made with good technique and local, high quality ingredients, with a tasting menu changing daily. Didn’t feel particularly inventive if new, bold flavours are what you’re after, but it’s worth eating there one night.

    Not enough parking, we had to leave the car elsewhere one night. But for most of the stay there was enough room.

    Incredible food. Such a cool location. Exceptional view of the sea. Rooms were quaint, but very well supplied. The second room we stayed in, Gruta, was one of the most incredible rooms i've ever seen, built around a cave. Worth the stay alone. Staff incredibly friendly and helpful. You absolutely have to stay for dinner, if not you're wasting one of the best meals you could have on the island.

    No safes in the villas. Provide extra information regarding the steepness of property when parking.

    Gorgeous concept. Completely farm to table. The villas engrained in the garden, and vineyards that are used by the property. Unbelievable views of the ocean. Excellent restaurant, service, and overall ambiance.

    - The staff was not very welcoming - The room was very small - We expected a better view of the ocean - No slippers provided - There was no sauna, which is something you expect from a 4-star hotel - The breakfast variety was limited, there was no buffet or menu. You just receive a fixed selection and can choose what type of eggs you want. Unfortunately, we were not impressed by the facilities and service at Socalco.

    We spent one night at Socalco, as we wanted to visit the Razao restaurant. We appreciated the quality of the food at both dinner and breakfast.
