Amazing! Loved the location, view and room. Breakfast and service amazing. Dinner was good too. Went for cocktails one night, maybe near closing and wasn’t the same level as previous experienced but mostly amazing.
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.

Parking in front hotel is always limited in the evening. Got the room with great seaview and signal tower seen from window. Breakfast was good but don’t expect something big.
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.
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.
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.
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 arrived to the hotel, checked in and the person who checked us in showed us the dining area and kitchen then apologized for the amount of stairs to our room. She wasnt kidding there were over 125+ stairs to our room. Midway she asked if we were ok and wanted to get our bags. We said we wanted to see where the room was first. Once we made it to.the room after, my husband and I are both in great shape and have been hiling all over portugal. The associate again apologized showed us the room and apologized for the minimalist room and left. I sat on the bed that was so hard and my husband said that there was no way he could carry our luggage from our two week stay up these stairs. There is no disclosure of how many stairs and there are no hand railings. He had shoulder surgery and couldnt physically do it without harming his shoulder. So we trecked back down to the office and told them ofnour problem, asked if they had anyone who could help us or if they had an alternative room. They said that they didnt have either. But we could carry minimal bags up to the room we had rented and once the room above the lobby opened the next day (where you could hear barking dogs and a lot of noise) which was a lessor catergory room. We could move there without help and without any adjustment in the rate and that was all they could offer us as they were sold out the night of our arrival and only had the one room the next day.We said that that didnt remedy carrying and the physical limitation.
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!
