Senderos Soul
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.
- Simon, Senderos
