Finca Valentina is a charming, small boutique hotel at the foot of the Andes, just outside Salta in Northwest Argentina. A refurbished country house, it maintains the local traditional architecture with the layout, light and comfort of modern living.
Peaceful, laid-back property with a spectacular setting
Lovingly restored, family-owned country house on the outskirts of Salta
With just seven rooms there is a homely feel with locally sourced textiles and artefacts used as decorations
Large inviting pool with plenty of loungers and places to chill out with a striking mountainous backdrop
A chic, charming and affordable rustic retreat, Finca Valentina is ideally based for a dose of relaxation in Argentina’s northwest, and offers authentic hospitality and delicious home-cooked cuisine. It’s the perfect place to kick back for a few days, enjoying the pool, the lovely views and the atmosphere, with a glass of Malbec in hand, or possibly take a trip to explore the fascinating landscapes and cultures of the northwest. Staying here is like being with relaxed, very welcoming friends.
The seven bedrooms evoke simple luxury with large beds, hand-carved rocking chair with a soft woollen blanket for the chilly winter evenings, and picture-perfect views out to the garden and mountains beyond. There are plenty of thoughtful touches such as the bowls of roses placed around the house.
Meals are taken in the finca’s living and dining area, a welcoming, intimate space of deep white sofas, hide-strapped chairs, and carefully placed gaucho artefacts. Candlelit at night and open-fired in winter, this is sophisticated country eating at its best. Drinks are served at the table, in front of the fire, or out on the veranda as you count the stars.
During your stay, you can go out riding, take some cookery classes to learn how to make regional specialities, do a little bird watching, or simply laze around with a good book.
