Nanou House

Nanou House Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Nanou House, you immediately sense this isn’t your typical four-star hotel — it’s something more intimate and personal. The property sits quietly on Calle Acentejo in La Matanza de Acentejo, and honestly, the name of this little Tenerife town might sound dramatic, but the setting is anything but chaotic. There’s free parking right on site, which you’ll appreciate since navigating these winding Canarian streets with a rental car can be, well, let’s just say it’s not always straightforward.

Location & Local Charm

What strikes me about this spot is how it captures that authentic Tenerife vibe without feeling touristy. La Matanza de Acentejo sits in the island’s north, where the landscape is greener and the pace slower than the southern resort areas. You’re actually positioned perfectly for exploring the Anaga Mountains or making day trips to Santa Cruz — but you know what I love most? The couples who stay here consistently rave about the location, and I get it. There’s something romantic about being tucked away in this traditional Canarian town, surrounded by banana plantations and volcanic landscapes that feel worlds away from crowded beaches.

The Experience

The staff at Nanou House responds incredibly quickly to any questions — and I mean quickly, not the usual “we’ll get back to you in 24 hours” hotel response. Recent guests have rated the location a solid 9.1, which honestly doesn’t surprise me given how peaceful yet accessible everything feels here. The property has this refined, upscale atmosphere without being stuffy or overly formal. It’s the kind of place where you can actually relax and feel like you’re staying somewhere special, not just passing through.

Practical Comforts

Having that private parking cannot be overstated — seriously, if you’ve ever tried finding a parking spot in some of these Canarian towns, you’ll understand why this matters so much. The rooms maintain that high-end feel you’d expect from a four-star property, but there’s attention to detail that goes beyond the standard amenities. Everything feels thoughtfully designed rather than cookie-cutter, which is refreshing when you’ve stayed in too many identical hotel rooms.

Why Guests Love It

The 9.6 rating speaks for itself, but what really comes through in guest feedback is how this place strikes the perfect balance. You’re getting that upscale hotel experience — the responsive service, the refined atmosphere, the prime location — but in a setting that feels authentically Canarian rather than generically international. Couples particularly seem drawn to the romantic potential of the location, and I can see why. There’s something about being nestled in this traditional town, with easy access to both mountain adventures and coastal drives, that creates the perfect backdrop for a memorable stay. It’s not trying to be everything to everyone, which is exactly what makes it work so well.

Reviews of Nanou House

• Ancuta from Romania (10/10)

  From Tenerife north this is the best place to stay! Amazing house with all the comfort included! The garden and the view is stunning. The garden is big and you feel like in a mini botanic garden. It looks good in the pictures, but the reality is much more beautiful. And at night you can see Puerto de la Cruz light up. If you have a rented car you need to stay here for a true Tenerife experience!

• Morgan from Iceland (9/10)

  The host met us and let us in the house and gave us a small tour!

• Stephen from United Kingdom (10/10)

  Very relaxing and all we need to do was get the food and drink we required from one if the many local supermarkets. Hosts were very helpful and accommodating. Any queries or requests were answered in minutes and there was a suggestion for an activity every day.

• Stefan from Germany (10/10)

  Besonders gut hat uns der Außenbereich gefallen. Der Blick auf den Teide, auf die Orte an der Küste und auf die abwechslungsreiche Vegetation – sensationell bei Tag und Nacht. Die Pflanzenvielfalt im Außenbereich gleicht einem botanischen Garten. Es gibt viele Sitzgelegenheiten und mittendrin ein toller Pool! Von der Terrasse aus genießt man die Sonnenwanderung vom Morgen an bis zum Abtauchen am Horizont. Besser kann eine Terrassenausrichtung nicht sein.
  Innen ist alles sehr geräumig, hell gestaltet, komfortabel, zweckmäßig, heil, sauber und auch vom Design schön. Weil es nicht das neuste und beste von allem ist, was aber überhaupt nicht notwendig ist, würde ich 9 Punkte geben (nur um es mit Spitzenhäusern zu vergleichen). Der Außenbereich bekommt 12 von 10 Punkten. 😉
  Die Anfahrt ist sehr einfach. Von der großen "Ringstraße" fährt man einfach ab und 1 km später ist man am Haus. Sehr praktisch.
  Die Gastgeber: Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen. Schon im Vorfeld war die Kommunikation sehr angenehm. Nach einer Einweisung rund um das Gehöft, folgten täglich Tipps zu möglichen Ausflügen. Zudem war immer ein Austausch auch per WhatsApp möglich. Absolut top!
  Vielen, vielen Dank!

  הבית היה ברמה גבוהה ביותר, נוף יפיפה, נקי, מסודר ומאובזר היטב. בנוסף הבריכה אומנם לא היתה מחוממת אך היתה מקסימה.

• Cristina from Spain (10/10)

  ¡La casa es preciosa! El acceso desde el amplio salón de estar hacia la terraza, el jardín y la piscina hacen que disfrutes de las espectaculares vistas hacia el Teide y el Valle de La Orotava de manera especial.
