Finca
El Quinto was set up in 1987 by Helmut and Roswitha Köllmann who
moved to Tenerife to become self-sufficient and enjoy an organic lifestyle
with their five children.
Over a period of five years, the couple successfully created a rural idyll
and the cottages they constructed have since attracted families, couples,
teaching groups and executives looking for alternative holidays away from
the tourist establishment and gift malls.
Growing around the cottages and flats, there are fruit trees such as mango,
papaya, avocado and banana and wonderful fresh herbs for the kitchen.
Each holiday home has been built in traditional Canary style using the
appropriate joinery and original features for the windows and for the
roofs antique tiling.
The holiday homes are connected with each other by small paths and steps
that lead through the farm. Each home has a beautiful view across the
Atlantic and the adjacent Barranco (the Realejos Bajo gorge).
