I had a great experience at Escarpa - The Madeira Hideaway. Escarpa offers a fantastic location with stunning panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and unforgettable sunsets. The infinity pool and tranquil surroundings create the perfect environment for relaxation after a day of exploring Madeira. Breakfast was fresh and delicious, and the dinner at the 90 Degrees restaurant was a highlight—truly amazing food, with friendly and helpful staff.

However, there was one downside: our room did not have conditioner, which was inconvenient, especially given how hot it was this week. This small detail would have made the stay perfect. Overall, it’s a lovely spot and I’d recommend it, with just a minor improvement in amenities.

The pool and the view was amazing, the breakfast was great with lots of different options. the staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

no air conditioning in the rooms were a major downside in the stay, this would be okay in the cooler months but in summer when we were there sleeping was difficult, they provided a fan but it wasn’t adequate and our sleep was not the best because of the heat. the breakfast runs from 8am - 10:30am, and because of that we missed out on the breakfast on our final day since we needed to leave earlier. Also, between our apartment and the one next to ours there was no separation on the balcony, just a couple of plants, which felt a bit less private.

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.

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 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.

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 view over the ocean with the swimming pool was amazing. Big room , very quiet, lot of privacy. Breakfast in the morning was ok.

The owner very gently explained us that is not possible to put air conditioning in the room due to local rules which I fully understand but I have to admit that in the afternoon when the sun was hitting the huge window we had in our room it was a hot. (Maybe a different solution can be found) The curtains were a bit annoying and not easy to open and close. No mosquito net.

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!

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..

Views, pool, terrace, breakfast was decent, staff was fabulous, decent location in relation to rest of Madeira, private parking available (although often got last spot at end of day because restaurant guests used the spots)

Very steep hill and stairs up and down from property (a lift would be helpful for bringing bags and such up and down), beds not super comfortable, no AC so sleeping was not super comfortable. Breakfast was good but I would’ve liked a bit more variety or more description of what

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.

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

The location is fantastic, of course, but what really makes this place exceptional is the sense of community - the staff are fantastic in every way but the key ingredient they provide is an atmosphere which helps produce a community of guests. Our interactions with other guests made this a special stay.

Breakfast was later than we are used to at home, but in the end I suppose this later breakfast helped us to relax into our holiday. It was also essential in creating the sense of community we all shared. Fantastic food by the way - also true of the restaurant which is next to the hotel ands connected I think.

The location within a lush banana plantation in the sunniest point on the island with spectacular ocean views puts this hotel in the top 3 we’ve ever stayed in. It was the perfect base location for our Madeira adventure. The stunning pool was quiet at all times, and the small hotel size (14 rooms) ensures a relaxing stay. We loved the on site breakfast and 90 Degrees dinner spot.
