Telde, Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, Spain
Official rating: 4 stars
Cortijo San Ignacio Golf Hotel is an old Manor House located 6.4 km away from the city of Las Palmas on the GC-1 motorway. Built at the end of the 18th century by the Jesuit religious order as a farmhouse, it has been restored into an elegant and charming rural hotel, surrounded by an 18 hole golf course. Other sporting facilities include illuminated paddle and tennis courts and equestrian tracks for dressage and jumping.
It is perhaps the only house on the island that, in spite of its large size, maintains all the structural features of this type of colonial architecture: large sets of balconies and wooden ceilings, very well adapted to the lay of the land. Its tropical vegetation with centenary palms and its impressive swimming pool invites you to relax and enjoy a few days in Gran Canaria.
