Hotel Palacio Urgoiti, Mungia, Basque Country

More Hotel Photographs

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.

All the 43 charming rooms (suites, junior suites, superior, standard and singles) are spacious and enjoy beautiful views of the golf course. The rooms are tastefully decorated and offer the maximum level of comfort for guests who wish to work and for those wishing to relax for a few days. All the rooms are equipped with a 20-inch plasma TV, Wireless and Adsl Internet access, spacious wardrobes and marble bathrooms, all combining an exquisite décor with the greatest comfort.

Golf: 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.

Food & Drink: Overlooking the golf course, Harria, the Palacio Urgoiti’s restaurant, offers a very pleasant atmosphere, where you can enjoy an elaborate cuisine based on the rich gastronomic tradition of the Basque Country. Using local produce the chef prepares the freshest of ingredients for use in his inventive menus, with special emphasis on promoting local dishes and wines.

Palacio Urgoiti also offers a private dining room as well as several reception rooms for different types of events. Restaurant Harria boasts a nice decoration where the large windows are in contrast with the beam ceiling and the modern paintings and the warmth of the fireplace during winter. In addition, the restaurant offers 2 spacious terraces, ideal for cocktail parties or pre-dinner drinks.
