Company info
Casa Os Manos is a small family-run guesthouse in Santana, created with a simple goal: to offer travellers a welcoming, comfortable base in Madeira where they feel at home from the moment they arrive.
We take pride in maintaining a relaxed, personal atmosphere where guests are treated like people, not numbers.
The guesthouse is run hands-on by family, each with a key role in making your stay smooth and enjoyable. Nathan is your main point of contact on-site, helping with guest support, day-to-day operations and local recommendations. Corina, Tim, Luis and Cristina take care of preparing rooms and shared spaces to a high standard, ensuring everything is clean, comfortable and ready for each arrival.
Miguel, part of our extended family, also supports the guesthouse when needed and helps with translations, making communication easier for our international guests.
We genuinely enjoy meeting travellers from around the world and sharing our local knowledge of Madeira, especially the best hiking routes, viewpoints, and authentic places to eat. Our focus is simple: a warm welcome, a clean and comfortable stay, and helpful local advice whenever you need it.

It is a quiet residential area away from heavy tourist crowds, making it ideal for guests looking to relax, disconnect, and enjoy the island’s natural beauty at their own pace.
One of the highlights of this location is the uninterrupted mountain views that surround the property. From sunrise to sunset, the light changes constantly across the landscape, creating unique colours and atmospheres that can be enjoyed directly from the guesthouse. Due to Santana’s elevated position, guests experience wide open skies and some of the most memorable sunrises and sunsets on the island.

The location is also an excellent base for exploring some of Madeira’s most famous hiking routes. The iconic Levada do Caldeirão Verde, known for its lush forest paths, tunnels, and waterfalls, is within easy reach. Equally accessible is the legendary Pico Ruivo, the highest peak in Madeira, offering one of the island’s most unforgettable sunrise hikes above the clouds.
The main motorway is just 4 minutes away, providing fast and easy access to all parts of the island. From here, guests can reach coastal viewpoints, additional levada walks, waterfalls, and other major attractions with ease, making Santana a strategic base for exploring Madeira.
Santana itself is known for its green landscapes, cool mountain air, and traditional charm. It offers a more authentic side of the island while still being perfectly positioned for both adventure and convenience. Whether guests are here for hiking, sightseeing, or simply to enjoy the views, the neighbourhood offers a rare combination of peace, nature
