Finca Valentina

Close to the lovely city of Salta, just a short drive from the local airport, Finca Valentina is a beautiful, very intimate country hotel that maintains the local traditional architecture externally with the layout, light and comfort of modern living. With just 12 rooms situated in different buildings around luscious gardens, lovely welcoming local staff that have worked here for many years, and exquisite home cooked food, it is a deeply relaxing and serene place to stay. Guests base themselves here for day trips to Salta, Humahuaca, Cafayate, Cachi as well as longer sojourns such as 4x4 expeditions into the extraordinary landscapes of the high Andes known as the Puna.

Finca Valentina is a place I love to return to, wish I could stay longer, truly a home from home, beautifully conceived as such, the house and taste you wish you had. Subtle, perfectly judged, intimate, warm and peaceful; feelings that good design and architecture can engender…yet nothing without that elusive magical touch, the living alchemy of people and place. Heartfelt natural hospitality, that rare sophistication, confidence and trust to treat you as a friend.
