Casa Os Manos

Os Mano's was the first place on our Madeira trip with a genuinely useful, comprehensive list of places to go. Nathan's tips all worked out brilliantly, including the go-to spots he suggested. He's an incredibly good host: friendly and kind, always happy to offer help, but never pushy about chatting. It felt like having someone around who could become a friend. The rest of the team felt like family to us too. Definitely recommend staying here!

The shared areas made it easy to unwind, with a big cosy living room, pool, darts, fireplace, kitchen, and bar. My room was clean and had everything I needed. From arrival, the welcome at Os Manos in Santana felt warm and genuine, almost like joining a family. They also gave great hiking suggestions, and it's a handy starting point for nearby trails. Highly recommended for a friendly place in a good location.

It's a little outside the town centre, so you'll probably want a car, but it's quiet and peaceful there. The family who run it are very friendly, and the traditional building is lovely. Rooms are decent for the price, with a well-equipped kitchen, pool table, and dartboard. The beds were amazing, and I finally got a proper night's sleep. Nathan also has great walking suggestions. The cave walk was fantastic and isn't on the other lists I saw.

We were really glad my friend and I chose Os Manos. Everyone was kind and helpful, and Nathan especially took great care of us. When I got sick, he even went to the pharmacy to get me medicine. We really appreciated the hospitality.
