A rural house in the north of Tenerife full of history
La Gañanía preserves the serene air of a family home. Located in Los Realejos, in the north of Tenerife, a place where time stops for those who prefer to experience the island calmly.
THE HOUSE
La Gañanía, a house with a family soul
Between whitewashed stone walls and wooden ceilings, La Gañanía holds the history of our family since 1894. Over time, we decided to rehabilitate it with the same love with which it was built, and in 1998 we opened its doors to rural tourism.
We were one of the first rural houses on the island, and today we continue to welcome travelers from all over the world to this small corner of Los Realejos, in the north of Tenerife, to share with them the calm, the history and the simple way of life that this house has always had.
The Accommodation
Two houses, one history
At La Gañanía we have rehabilitated two independent spaces that share the same history. Each one preserves the character of the original house, with its own rhythm and charm, and you can book them separately according to the experience you are looking for. If you wish to book the entire space with both accommodations, please contact us.

OUR HISTORY
More than a century of family history
Here, family memories are intertwined with stories that are also part of the memory of the Canary Islands: working the land, the farewells of those who emigrated, the returns full of emotion and the celebrations that gave meaning to the days.
Our great-grandmother Bárbara turned the central courtyard into a small school where the neighbors learned to read and write. Since then, this house has been a place of meeting, learning and shared life. Today we continue to take care of it with the same affection, open to those who arrive with curiosity, seeking the calm and authenticity of the north of Tenerife.

REVIEWS
Stories that are also part of the house
Over the years, many travelers have passed through La Gañanía and have taken away their own memory. Some return every season, others write to us from afar, but they all agree on one thing: here they feel at home.

The house is over 100 years old, yet it was impeccably clean, all amenities worked well and beds were comfortable. Hosts knowing that we arrive late on Saturday have bought us some groceries to ensure we have something to eat/drink the other day when shops open late. They are lovely and caring couple. Our 3 y.o. kid loved playing around in the garden. The house is very special and you can feel history in its walls. They are a lovely and caring couple.

This home is perfect for spending a lovely holiday. Lots of little rooms, hallways and open areas connected together makes for a great stay. Even though a major road runs along the back wall, you feel like you're in the middle of nowhere in your own little world. They are a lovely and caring couple.

Until we went, we didn't believe it. The house is close to very well-known places on the island. It is a very quiet area where you can breathe peace and harmony. We have enjoyed it a lot. Thank you Javier and his wife for making everything very easy and friendly.
