The 29-year-old is set to move on a free transfer following a medical, after leaving Valencia, before flying to Brazil for Switzerland's World Cup campaign.
Senderos was an unused substitute in the 2-0 win over Peru on Tuesday but has 52 caps and four goals for his country.
Senderos spent four years at Fulham before moving to the Mestalla in January and helped Arsenal win the FA Cup in 2005.
Villa boss Paul Lambert had been looking for a new centre-back to aid a defence which shipped 61 goals last season.
Jores Okore will also be available after being sidelined since September with a crucial knee ligament injury.
