イスカーパ - ザ マデイラ ハイダウェイ(Escarpa - the Madeira Hideaway)

Beautiful place, feels high-end for a very good price. Lovely breakfast and uninterrupted sea views. Rooms are modern, nicely furnished and very clean. Slightly out of the way so a car is essential, and like most of Madeira it’s on a hillside so not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. Highly recommended for anyone looking for sea views, infinity pool and a relaxing break.

We had a wonderful time at Escarpa and loved the accommodation and breakfast- would love to return !

How do you rate a piece of paradise? Well I will have a go Escarpa is one very special place run by an amazing Petra and her team Our room 7 had views to die for , we could lie in bed and watch the sun rise or sit on our balcony with a bottle of wine watch the sun set The room was stunning with huge bed, wonderful bedding ,dressing gowns . A small kitchen if you wanted to whip up a simple lunch .Everything has been thought out to ensure a perfect stay The pool was just awesome and we would watch the little boats sail past while in the pool. The chairs and spitting areas again are special Finally the breakfasts WOW so different having tapas breakfasts We will be back

It was just as expected! So beautiful area and the villa we booked with the sea view was just amazing! Petra and all of her staff were so nice and friendly. The swimming pool looking over the bay is beautiful and the breakfast every morning is very good. All hand made delicacies , very yummy! Can’t get enough of that beautiful view 😍! Can only recommend to stay there if you are visiting. It’s close to everything, the levadas, Ponta Do Sol , Camara de los Lobos and 35’ from Funchal.

Possibly the loveliest hotel I’ve stayed at! If you are looking for peace, tranquility and privacy - this is the right hotel for you. The views are spectacular and all you can hear from your balcony or your bed, is the sound of the ocean. I booked this short break as a 50th birthday gift for my husband and I wanted it to be a little special and Escarpa is exactly that. The rooms have a little kitchenette area which is great for coffee & a snack on the balcony or if you want to bring some lunch back to your room. The location is great for the levadas Moinho & Novo and is a short (20 minute) taxi ride into Funchal. Petra is a delightful hostess and her staff are friendly, welcoming and yet unobtrusive. I would love to come back again one day. It has been a much needed few days of pure relaxation. If you are hesitating, wondering whether to book in Funchal, I can only say “Book this hotel quickly!”.

Exceptionally high standard boutique hotel with stunning views over the Atlantic. We were very well looked after and everywhere was spotlessly clean. Rooms were very comfortable with good facilities and luxury touches. Would thorough recommend.

Stunning location. Beautiful rooms. Amazing staff - with a special call out to Melissa, who is an utter delight and Abilio, the waiter at 90 Degrees restaurant who took great care of us and kept us entertained!. Best hotel breakfast from Mrs Petra, the owner. Great mix of interesting guests. Incredible value for money. Faultless!

Everything was great-Location,natural beauty,the amazing breakfasts....Petra and her staff were great. One thing that upset us was the service at 90 degrees restaurant at night-in this case it was New Year's Eve.The server,a great guy, was inappropriately rushing us which took away a lot of the experience.People are on holiday and should never feel rushed.

This report may be written rather late, but I still believe that I owe it to Madame Petra and her staff to praise this fabulous resort and all the staff. It was mid May 2022 and I succeeded to complete the Pico Ruivo hike along with my travelling mate. We stayed 4 nights in Funchal to be near the major city attractions and to undertake the hike. With the strenuous hike behind, now it was time pick up a rental car and to drive to Ponta do Sol to spent 4 nights at Escarpa. Up until then I did not stay in a more calm and sophisticated resort. Being from the 'old school', I do appreciate the calmness and no adults only policy. The highlights: the infinite pool and the restaurant, not to forget the daily breakfast served personally by the owner Madame Petra. I hope to return before long.
