  Mountains View From The Golf Palacio Urgoiti

The 4 star Palacio Urgoiti is a 17th Century Palace located in the heart of a 9 hole Golf Pitch & Putt and dominating the nearby mountains. The Hotel is a beautiful 11 acre retreat located minutes away from Bilbao. The beaches of Plentzia and Bakio are only 15 minutes away where you can swim or just lay in the sun. Like a lifesize puzzle, the building was taken down stone by stone from its original location and thirty years later, in an impressive and arduous effort of cataloguing and preserving all its artistic elements, the family has fulfilled its dream of rebuilding it exactly the way it was originally.

Palacio Urgoiti is a singular hotel in every aspect, from its magnificent building and elegant decor to its history.  Originally located in Galdakao until the end of 1969, then in 2005 the building was moved to its present location when the new motorway Bilbao-Behobia was laid out, in an impressive and arduous effort of cataloguing and preserving all its artistic elements. 

Surrounding the building of Hotel Palacio Urgoiti is a beautifully designed 9-hole Pitch & Putt golf course. Carefully integrated into the surrounding landscape of trees, rough and lakes, this Par 3 course provides hole length variations of 90-120 metres. The site also features a putting green, a driving range and an approach area with a bunker. The longitude of the holes is between 90 mts. and 120 mts. and is not necessary to be a member to play. Excellent English speaking teachers are available for those wishing to learn or improve their golf skills. The Hotel & Golf Palacio Urgoiti offers the perfect balance between the warm and relaxing feel of a stately home and the comfort of state-of-the-art facilities.

Driving Directions: From any motorway around Bilbao, go towards Mungia- Aeropuerto (N 631 motorway). Take the exit Artebakarra – Laukariz. At the exit, turn right towards Laukariz. After approximately 500 mts, you will see the Golf Hotel Palacio Urgoiti on your left up on the hill. Once you reach the roundabout, turn left.
