Restaurant & Guesthouse in Skrova

I've done plenty of work exchanges during my 20's and always looked forward for the day l would have my own project and the opportunity to share this experience from the other side. Hopefully l will offer as many good experiences as l had in the past <3

Our Main team is just Mario and I ;) however we are surrounded by a very small and supportive community! During the high season, we hire extra hands to join our team, we promote a very friendly athmosphere and we are happy to say that often volunteers that come for a while stay months or even years in some cases... ;) The vibe and tasks can change a lot through the year, since this is a very seasonal tourism area, during the high season we must work very hard to keep the project alive so sometimes we dont have much free time to hang out or even to sleep... :) So, volunteers will have plenty of independence and free time to explore the area or pursue their interests. In Summer Thre are many volunteers, so its very social, but Mario and I have almost zero free time to hangout, except for some boat trips and group dinners in the restaurant (sometimes we join, sometimes we dont) In Winter It's a very chilled athmosphere, we have very few guests, so there is more time for organizing activities involving other tasks outside restaurant & Guesthouse. Our experiences are perfect for independent mature travellers who would like to explore a diferente life in a small rural island in the arctic.

6 starrssssss. This experience was amazing. I was supposed to stay a month and stayed almost two. Monica and Mario are incredibly kind and I really enjoyed being here. I got some good restaurant experience, spent a lot of time relaxing on the beach, cold plunging, sauna, camping, biking, etc. the accommodation is super big and there was lots of food. They also provide bikes to get to the restaurant which is super nice. I absolutely recommend to anyone wanting to experience the magic of Skrova!! Thank you again Monica and Mario🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴❤️⛰️

Our time in Skrova was amazing. We felt very welcome from the beginning and really enjoyed being part of the team. The work was fair and well organized, around 5 hours a day, and we still had lots of time to spend with the other volunteers. Everyone was kind, helpful, and respectful, which made it easy to learn and work together. The atmosphere was always positive, and we can truly recommend this place to everyone. The nature in Skrova is magical and we will definitely come back!

This was SUCH a good volunteering Experience! Monica and Mario are super generous, kind and flexible.Skrova is really a gem and you have enough time to visit the rest of the Lofoten. Shifts are agreed upon the day before for the next day and u can express your preference if you need to. Work can be a lot and really hectic in the high season but they always try to keep it fun and respectful and help accordingly. I had a great time!

Monica and Mario are two of the kindest and hardest working people I have had the pleasure to meet. Living in Skrova was incredible the Sun never set (in June/July), the beaches are crystal clear and the mountains are wonderful.
