Nanos (pronounced [ˈnaːnɔs] ) is a dispersed settlement on Mount Nanos in the Municipality of Vipava in the Littoral region of Slovenia. [2]
A dispersed settlement, also known as a scattered settlement, is one of the main types of settlement patterns used by landscape historians to classify rural settlements found in England and other parts of the world. Typically, there are a number of separate farmsteads scattered throughout the area. A dispersed settlement contrasts with a nucleated village.
The Municipality of Vipava is a municipality in western Slovenia. The seat of the municipality is the town of Vipava.

The municipality was established in its current form on 3 October 1994, when the former larger Municipality of Ajdovščina was subdivided into the municipalities of Ajdovščina and Vipava.
