Finca Valentina

0 1 2 3 4

Just a short drive from the Salta airport and within half-an-hour of the city, this charming rural hotel is ideally suited to those with a car seeking a quiet base from which to explore Salta’s attractions. Finca Valentina is built in traditional regional Salteña style, with dazzling whitewash walls and colonnades, high ceilings, and splashes of local colour lent by local textiles, handicrafts and flowers. With just 8 rooms, a pool, sundeck and tasty home-cooked meals on offer each evening, it’s easy to get settled in here if you fancy a day at leisure. Beyond are the foothills of the Andes, calling for exploration of this fascinating corner of Argentina.
