"The building was originally a Sugercane factory and the conversion has retained the dark hues and colours making the hotel warm and cosy. Our booking was for family of 4 and we booked into one of the garden pool suites. The package was b&b and came with an upgrade to the “premium service”. I would say the latter is well worth having as it gives you free access to the underground car park, the spa and an upstairs lounge with great views and where you can have breakfast (from a menu) and drinks and snacks. Really made the stay even better. The bedroom & attached lounge was large but had some quirky design issues. Eg the shower had no door or the bedroom was open to the basin area. Ok if there are two of you but needed a bit better planning when 4. This is a great hotel and as it was s not in Funchal (30 min drive) is much more relaxed and a spa. "

"The property was very clean, comfortable and quiet. "

"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. "

"Excellent overall. Especially liked that it was in a quiet rural area but only a minute away from the main highway. House was well equipped. A great place to be based to explore the west side of the island. The only downside is that it's a bit of a drive for groceries but not a major issue. "

"This is great location for exploring the west of the island.Heated pool, lovely view and good accommodation."

"Our cottage was fantastic! Beautifully designed, comfortable with privacy. The scenery was breathtaking - we loved looking out over the sea and watching the sunset. The garden/pool area is gorgeous. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again."

"Overall good hotel, good all-inclusive selection, view to sea and etc., but gym is terrible condition. "

"We loved it. I wish the pool was a little warmer, but I understand that it’s probably not possible "

"A beautiful house with all the amenities that you would need for your stay and then some. Magnificent views of the sunset from the terrace. The property manager Johnny went out of his way to help us in any need that we had. We only should have paid more attention to the fact that the garage is for small cars. Our rental (Dacia Duster) fit very tight. A great experience that included three hikes with incredible views. "
