The perfect plan for your next family holiday in Northern Tenerife
If you are looking to escape mass tourism and immerse yourself in an experience where authenticity, the Atlantic breeze, and the scent of Canarian pine take centre stage, you have come to the right place. Northern Tenerife is more than just a destination; it is a state of mind where time stands still amidst cliffs and lush green valleys.
At Sansofestay, we understand that family holidays in Northern Tenerife should be synonymous with true relaxation. Located in the heart of La Matanza de Acentejo, our properties provide the sanctuary you need to reconnect with your loved ones while enjoying some of the most stunning sunsets in Macaronesia, with the majestic Mount Teide watching over the horizon.
The Perfect Destination for Your Family Holiday
Choosing the right place for your break makes the difference between an ordinary trip and a life-changing experience. Northern Tenerife, and specifically La Matanza de Acentejo, stands out as the ideal corner due to its mild microclimate and its traditional village feel that has beautifully preserved its soul.
Here, family summers in Tenerife are experienced differently. Away from the hustle and bustle of the south, the north treats you to mornings wrapped in the Trade Wind mists that cool the air, making coastal or mountain hikes a constant pleasure. It is a place where children can discover volcanic nature in its purest state, while adults savour a Tacoronte-Acentejo Designation of Origin wine on their villa’s terrace.
La Matanza is not just a point on the map; it is the balcony of the Atlantic. From here, the connection to the sea is absolute. We are not talking about calm, monotonous waters, but the vigour of the ocean crashing against the northern coast, creating a visual and acoustic spectacle that accompanies your dinners under the stars.
- Exclusive Rural Setting: Live among historic vineyards and gardens filled with native Canarian flora.
- Zero-Kilometre Gastronomy: The highest concentration of traditional ‘guachinches’ is just minutes away from your accommodation.
- Accessibility and Adventure: The perfect starting point for exploring Anaga Rural Park or ascending Mount Teide without long journeys.
Why Rent a Family Holiday Home in Northern Tenerife?
Choosing family accommodation in Northern Tenerife through Sansofestay ensures every family member finds their happy place. Unlike conventional hotels, our homes in La Matanza offer the privacy needed for children to play freely while parents enjoy absolute peace.
Exclusivity here is not measured in marble, but in the silence broken only by the sound of the Atlantic and the quality of the Canarian golden hour light. Our properties are equipped with modern kitchens, spacious living areas, and, most importantly, a location that integrates you into the local community.
Planning your family holiday in Northern Tenerife with us allows you to live like a local. You can visit the local market to buy ‘papas antiguas’ and fresh fish of the day, then prepare them on your own barbecue while watching the clouds play across the Acentejo hillsides. This freedom is the true luxury for modern families.
Furthermore, saving time is key. Being strategically located, you will avoid the tedious traffic queues of the south, dedicating every minute of your stay to what really matters: creating unforgettable memories with your children at the area’s best black sand beaches or natural rock pools.

The Best Activities to Enjoy on Your Family Holiday in Tenerife
Northern Tenerife is a vast natural playground. If you stay in a family holiday rental in Tenerife, you will have access to experiences that don’t appear in conventional guidebooks.
- The Guachinche Route: You can’t say you’ve been here without eating at a ‘guachinche’. These are private homes serving their own wine and home-cooked food (carne fiesta, chickpeas, grilled cheese). It is an authentic and very affordable experience for families.
- Hiking through Laurisilva Forests: Just a few kilometres from La Matanza, Anaga Rural Park offers magical trails surrounded by giant ferns, perfect for making children feel like they are in an adventure film.
- Swimming in Natural Rock Pools: The north is full of ‘charcos’ (natural pools formed by lava) such as those in Bajamar or El Caletón, where the Atlantic sea flows in gently, allowing for a safe and spectacular swim.
- Whale and Dolphin Watching: Although many boats depart from the south, private excursions from Puerto de la Cruz offer a more intimate view of the wild sea and its wildlife.
