Takes a while for the hot water to come through but given location it's understandable. The fan provided was too squeaky for the night but the temperature required it. Proximity to the Cascata dos Anjos waterfall does mean the road to the hotel can be crowded with cars.

The sea view was absolutely incredible, as was the infinity pool, the location is perfect for watching the sun set. The comprehensive breakfast each morning was great. Proximity to the Cascata dos Anjos waterfall and Ponta do Sol is great. The hotel manager was very accommodating and keen to help, and the rooms are cleaned super quickly it's usually already made by the time we finish breakfast. Hotel is quiet so it feels very peaceful and spacious. Hot tub by pool is lovely for sun set.

It was the biggest highlight of our stay in Madeira. The hotel is so serene, so quiet, so amazingly relaxing. The breakfast is delicious, the staff is simply great. And the view from the room is unbeatable! It's worth the money.

We loved everything

Spectacular view and location

Spa wasn’t heated so couldn’t use the jacuzzi. Lack of AC or ceiling fan in the room would make it uncomfortably warm in the hotter months.

Beautiful hillside location with unbeatable sea and sunset views. Great breakfast and adjoining restaurant.

Great views. Wonderful breakfast. Lovely staff.

We could have used some extra hooks to hang clothes/dry towels/bathing suits.

We loved every minute! Petra and her staff are amazing people. Every day, we were looking forward to a healthy and delicious breakfast. We especially loved the ginger shots. We loved the room, the pool, ... the only regret we have is not staying one day more, like we had originally planned. We will be back for sure.

Our time at Escarpa was absolutely incredible! The staff was wonderful, the property was beautiful, the breakfast was amazing and the restaurant, 90 Degrees, was also incredible - the staff, the food and the service! Our stay was so quiet and peaceful. We would absolutely stay here again!

Discover perfection at Escarpa on the sunny side of Madeira – where breathtaking views, lovely interiors, outstanding breakfasts, and the charm of our host, Petra, create an unforgettable stay. Our return is certain, as Escarpa is not just a destination; it's a promise of unparalleled hospitality and cherished memories.

There was no A/C and since all the rooms face south/west, it can get hot in the afternoons. Since we were there in October, opening the sliders to our balcony cooled the room down quickly, but I think it would have been more of an issue in the warmer months.

The breakfast each morning was lovely and served in a great setting overlooking the ocean (everything overlooks the ocean!). It was wonderful to sit on our balcony relaxing after a day of hiking.

We were a bit disappointed that our pool felt extremely cold, but we did chose to travel in November.. When the days are warmer for longer, the pool would have been warmer. Ms.Petra assured me that the temperature should be 23°C, but that they would also try to have heating installed on the pools from this winter on. Other that the pool, we had some issues with the toilet not stopping to flush, but we managed to fix this ourselves. We would also have liked some info on the flow of hot water in the taps and shower as we thought we didn't have hot water for 2 days, haha.. We just didn't let it run for long enough..

The staff in both the hotel and the 90° restaurant was amazing! As was the food in both places, I've never experienced such a variety at breakfast before. Our villa was beautiful, and cleaning was spotless every day! All of the staff did a fantastic job of making us feel very welcome, the lovely Ms.Petra has something very good going on here! The place is sitting in the hillside between Ponta do Sol and Madalena do Mar, making it a quiet gem away from the busy city life. It was exactly what we needed to charge our batteries, thank you again!

It is quite steep to the rooms

The views are amazing. The room was comfortable. The breakfast was lovely.

The property is up a steep hill from car park and then our villa which was beautiful is up yet more steps - so accessibility is difficult and hard to take cases up .

Nothing really. Just a note to say if you’re considering staying here, it’s pretty hilly and you will be climbing lots of steps

Lovely stay. Stayed here for my honeymoon and we both loved it. The rooms and the property were just as shown in the images on line and the staff treated us with care and intent. The property is also located along a lovely walking trail so it was excellent.

Our initial room was extremely hot with no AC installed. Due to that we were barely able to sleep at night because of the heat (the temperature in the room didnt fall below 32°C at night, despite opening all windows), but Petra reacted immediately and offered us another room, where it was way more comfortable. Other than that, we had no issues.

The rooms are really nice, amazing view at the ocean, very clean and modern. There have been a few issues initially but the staff was trying to present a solution to them immediately. All in all a great overall experience, we can definitely recommend it.

Fantastic breakfast, everything was freshly made and lots of fresh fruit. Very wellness conscious. Freshly brewed coffee and squeezed orange juice!

We stayed at the villa with private pool and it was really private and very beautiful! Everything is super clean & comfortable in the villa. Petra - the owner - is very nice & ready to help anytime you need something. The breakfast is very good & almost everyday something special from portugal or madeira is served. We really enjoyed our stay here and will definitely come back!

No AC in our room, but a fan was provided

Breakfast was delicious, large assortment of fresh fruits breads and juices.

Food at associated dinner restaurant was passable but not special in spite of raving reviews on google. For dinner better visit Ponta do Sol, just a pleasant stroll away.

Relaxed vibe at beautiful location on a cliff along the Madeira South coast. Room was well fitted, clean and comfortable. Bed was super comfy. Breakfast was great with special personal attention from the lady running the place.

Climbing the stairs may be an issue for some people. The villas are spread on the cliff and climbing steep hills and stairs is a part of life on Madeira

Very new, small boutique hotel with family atmosphere. The views are fantastic! Everything is new , clean and stylish, service is very personal. The villa with the pool is very comfortable and thought through, with the nice sitting area, balcony, bathroom storage, and bedroom, very ergonomic, and of course private terrace with the pool! We didn’t want to go out as the view from the villa is not worse than any of the fantastic viewpoints ( miradouros) throughout Madeira. I would highly recommend staying here for a quiet holiday. Very quiet and you can see stars at night. Even in the common pool area it was never too crowded, 4 people at the time maximum. The restaurant is also very nice, small, casual but elegant again with nice view, with good food and service.

Not an easy access. Better be in a good shape.

The view, the room, the friendliness of Petra and her team, the breakfast, top location very close to Ponto do Sol

Nothing

We stayed at Escarpa - Madeira hideaway in July, 2023 and what a find it was! Everything was of an excellent standard and nothing was too much trouble. The highlight of our stay had to be breakfast which was absolutely amazing and must have taken much time and care to prepare. Our well proportioned room with lovely views over the sea was delightful and so comfortable. Do make sure you book a meal at 90 degrees - you won’t be disappointed! We would certainly recommend a stay here
