Socalco Nature Calheta

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.

Nice place to stay with a great environment. The breakfast is very good, and the staff is excellent. I highly recommend it.

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.

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.

Fantastic stay, couldn’t have asked for more. Food was fantastic, we ate in the restaurant 4 out of 4 nights. Fresh, inventive and very tasty.

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.
