    Nothing negative to say.

    We had been travelling for over two weeks in N. Argentina when we stayed at Finca Valentina and it was by far our preferred hotel. Quiet, tastefully decorated, good sized bedrooms, excellent service (special mention to Romina who was outstanding) and lovely food. Need I say more ?

    WiFi worked intermittently. Soundproofing between rooms wasn’t good. Could hear the people next door talking. The ambient lift music during dinner was bad.

    Evening meal was delicious. Lunch great value and very good.

    Never seems to be anyone working there. Wandering around to find someone to get a glass of wine, searching to find someone for checking out. Breakfast was good, dinners not so great. Practically no WiFi in the room.

    The grounds are beautiful.

    We booked this hotel at first just because the proximity with the airport. Going there by taxi from airport in the night, we’re not sure where we’re going. But when we arrived, the hospitality of the staff went beyond, the room is really cute, well decorated and very comfortable. it’s definitely a Salta’s hidden gem!

    Nothing. As long as you’re not expecting a 5* hotel. It is what it claims to be

    It was a very authentic, relatively simple finca decorated thoughtfully and in keeping with Argentinian heritage. The staff were attentive and very friendly. The food was delicious. Would thoroughly recommend this to anyone

    We were quite dismayed by the very rough drive from the main road to Finca Valentina. A 4x4 is not necessary to reach the facility, but without one it is necessary to drive at 10km/hour from the main road or risk damaging your car. I cannot lay this problem at the feet of Finca Valentina, of course, as they do not own the road, but it still bears a mention. Secondly, we were disappointed by the dinner we booked (though glad to have done so, going back to the road situation), as it was extremely light and somewhat pedestrian fare, this despite it being presented as "a 3-course set menu (not "a la carte") selected by our chef". The food was not bad, but it was not special in the least, which was a surprise considering the surroundings in which it was presented.

    Everything about the Finca Valentina facility is top notch, save for the rough-and-tumble stone road that guests must negotiate to reach it. The layout of the place, the furnishings and decorations of the common areas and the rooms, the grounds...elegant and tasteful. Also, the owners and the staff we interacted with could not have been nicer or more forthcoming.

    Being winter, our room was very cold on arrival but it did eventually heat up once we managed to get the heater on… The floors remained cold so do bring some slippers if visiting in winter!

    Lovely lounge and dining area, decorated with good taste and a beautiful fire place. We enjoyed the breakfast, lunch and dinner which was all freshly made. The room was nice and spacious too.

    Because of the time of year, it was quite chilly, and we did few quite cold at times. In the room it was fine as we had a big duvet and a radiator. However, in the main house you felt it much more (one night in particular it was quite cold eating dinner). Also, this didn’t bother us but there not any electronics in the property so if you’re keen on having a TV or a speaker then be prepared to bring your own devices.

    The finca itself was absolutely stunning and incredibly stylishly design. It felt very cosy and there was a lovely fire to relax beside ahead of dinner. There were gorgeous gardens and the room was a really nice size. It had a great shower and it provided soap, shampoo, a hairdryer, etc, which we thought was a nice touch considering it is an independent hotel. By far the star of the show though was the food. It was freshly prepared by the staff in the kitchen beside the dining room every night and you could taste the love. It was also extremely well priced and included a three course meal. There was also an extensive menu of lovely local wines to choose from.
