Enjoy Golf at Palacio Urgoiti Hotel

by Robert Anthony

Palacio Urgoiti is a beautiful eleven acre estate located about twelve kilometres from Bilbao (a fifteen minute drive) and 4 km. from the airport. The 17th century palace has been skilfully rebuilt into a luxurious hotel. The building was taken down stone by stone from its original location and thirty years later, the family has fulfilled its dream of rebuilding it exactly to its original specifications.

What is new is the 9 hole Pitch & Putt golf course in the garden. The property feels like a stately home, but with all the modern conveniences of a modern hotel.

There are forty three guest bedrooms all of which have lovely views of the golf course. They are spacious and bright and are equipped with flat-screen TVs, wireless internet and ADSL. The rooms are tastefully decorated and are very comfortable. An indoor swimming pool and a gym are also available for guest use.

Overlooking the golf course, the restaurant has a delightful ambiance and offers gastronomic Basque Country cuisine.
