David & Ivan - We had great hopes and expectations for a wonderful workshop at Hotel Bandolero - but
you exceeded them. The hotel is wonderful but your hospitality made it even better. And the food! Ivan is
truly a talented chef. The painting locations have all been fabulous and David's knowledge of the area and
informative guidance were very helpful. We will miss you both and your lovely hotel and hope to return again and again...

you two have outdone us, your willingness to do everything for us - the meals have been super - the driving and exploring

Thoroughly enjoyed our week here. The food is fantastic and the relaxed and friendly atmosphere is lovely. Thank you
David and Ivan. We will be back.
If you are reading this and you haven't yet tried one of Ivan's desserts, then you have missed too many opportunities for SIN
and PLEASURE! So go NOW and eat at least one Chocolate Volcano before you leave! Thank you David and Ivan for
such a lovely, entertaining week - for being so kind & cosseting (sic) ! I feel thoroughly spoiled - Ivan you have stolen my
husband's heart with your wonderful food (that's OK as long as I get to share it!). ~ Besos y Abrazos,

En el corazón de la Serranía, en un entorno privilejiado de la naturaleza, David e Iván ofrecen al viajero un lugar
acogedor, lleno de familiaridad, con muchos detalles que denotan su amor por lo que hacen. Magnifica cocina con postres sublemes
que deleitan el paladar de los huespedes tras una larga jornada de trascurir por senderos donde la naturaleza muestra su esplendor.
Disfrutaron de todo ello un mes de mayo de 2006.
¡¡¡ GRACIAS !!!

hostal sera todo un referente de la Serranía de Ronda.
Mariso - Estepona, Málaga (07/05/2006)

Haben das Hotel über Google gefunden: ein Volltreffer. Eigentlich war ein Hotel in Ronda gesucht, aber dass
"Bandolero" ist ein idealer Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge in die "pueblo blanco". Kulinarisch ebenfalls ein Volltreffer: offensichtlich
mit liebe zubereitet. Viel Erfolg für das Hotel wünschen,

Maria Carmen y Jose - Sevilla (01/05/2006)

Fantastic hotel, wonderful innovative food - especially the postres - I will have to return to try the five desserts
we didn't have time for! The walking was wonderful too in this very special valley with an abundance of spring flowers covering
the countryside. Good walking, excellent food & wine, David & Ivan are the perfect hosts ... what more could you want!
Jan & Bill - Norwich, Norfolk, England (01/05/2006)

Truly the highlight of our trip to Spain. The food was spectacular - the best suckling pig anywhere in the world.
We will be recommending Hotel Bandolero to all fellow foodies and Antipodeans. Thank you Ivan and David for making our trip to
Spain so memorable. We hope to come back again sometime (and stay for longer to sample more of Ivan's delicious food).

Sr. y Sra. de la Montaña - Málaga (09/04/2006)

For the first time in Andalucia, we were happy to find this wonderful place, Hotel Bandolero, with absolutely
everything you can wish! David and Ivan are just perfect for the guests to feel well taken care of. We enjoyed the solar eclipse
one day with David's mirror projecting it on the wall, we enjoyed Ivan's delicious leg of lamb - so good that we could hardly fall
asleep - too full of food. We are sure to come back and we will tell our friends about this pearl in the mountains. Kort sagt:
ett mycket trevligt ställe, mel főrträftlig mat!! Horar piano; små vita lamm, svalor, sol och frid!

This is the second time in 2005 that I stayed at Hotel Bandolero, this time to celebrate New Years Eve. There was a
group of us and we all enjoyed the great atmosphere, good food and the quality service David and Ivan have to offer. I would highly
recommend to anyone to visit Juzcar and stay at this fine establishment if they are planning to visit the beauty of the Andalucian mountains.
