Un lugar de los que da pena marcharse. No sólo por el paisaje y la tranquilidad, sino también por la cocina de Iván, la simpática charla de David y el afan de ambos porque no te falte de nada y te encuentres a gusto.
Siempre te quedan las ganas de pasar, aquí otros diítas.

David and Iván: Enjoyed the stay in Juzcar. This hotel has provided excellent food and friendly service. It was a hard walk to the neighboring village Pujerra, but worth the effort to experience the chestnut festival. Thank you for helping us to see the caves. This village provided a rest from the large cities in Spain. Refreshed, we now continue our holiday in Spain and Portugal. Terina kasih banyak,

Last year, in the summer of 2006, I made a trip through the south of Spain with my two daughters. One day we made a trip passing Juzcar, I remembered Hotel Bandolero. This year, planning a holiday with my husband, I wanted to come back to this area. On the booking site, I recognised immediately the hotel. So the decision was quickly made. The little day here was as nice as [sic} I thought it would be.

We had a wonderful stay here. Although it was raining, we spent completely relaxing Easter days in Hotel Bandolero; seeing the Easter Procession in Ronda, reading our novels and hiking. The wonderful food (I just loved all the desserts!!), the wood-fire in our speacial room, the sun-balcony, the pittoresh village made this a good start of our holiday in Spain. All you bike and hike fanatics out there, get your stuff to Bandolero!
