Once Upon a Time...

Socalco Nature Calheta aims to deliver a unique experience of Madeira, by being close to nature and by harvesting and cooking what the land gives in each season of the year.

From cooking classes to wine tasting moments, the foodie experiences are diverse, so that guests are able to be involved in the countryside life. The plants, the flowers, the fruits trees, water courses, caves and stunning sea views make the stay at Socalco Nature Hotel a truly unforgettable experience.
