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.

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.

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.

Terrible customer service

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!

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

The hotel room descriptions and rankings are misleading and exaggerated. This is not a 10 out of 10 property. The restaurant may be a 10 but accommodations are not. My room was listed and booked as a 1 bedroom premium room that sleeps 3. Anticipating the bed to be in its own room and a couch for the third person ( if needed) in a living area. The bed was separated from the kitchenette by a curtain and there was a narrow cushion on the kitchen window sill. No other living area seating. The desk was child size . This is not a “ one bedroom” by global standards. The rooms are small studios.The sq meters are omitted from all postings (shame on me for not asking!) There was no baggage service, which generally would be ok but we had to hand carry up 3- 4 flights of stairs along thin walkways in the sun. The parking is referred to as on site but it’s a hike up a significant hill. It is my opinion that a hotel with a 10/10 rating should have a baggage handler service and parking shuttle as a service. The photos of the pool size are lounge area are taken at an angle that make it look much larger and more spacious than it is. The service was noticeably different and better for young couples vs middle aged single fit female hikers. Unfortunately the room was just too small for 2 people ( non couple). We were told that no other rooms were available, so we lost our full prepayment for the 3 days. The photos and descriptions of the rooms remain misleading along with the 10/10 ranking.

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!
