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.

A wonderful experience that I would recommend to anyone!

Monica and Mario are sooo kind and generous, and they have lots of experience traveling and hosting volunteers.

Skrova is STUNNING and so peaceful. It’s also possible to take trips to other parts of Lofoten on your days off.

The work itself is simple, hours are well respected, and you’re given a lot of trust and autonomy to complete tasks.

I’m very grateful that I was able to be a part of the team in Skrova this summer. I would love to come back and visit again soon! ☀️

Staying at the Restaurant & Guesthouse in Skrova was truly an unforgettable experience. From the very first day, Monica and Mario made me feel at home with their kindness and generosity. The work is simple, fair, and hours are respected, giving you plenty of time to enjoy the island. Skrova is breathtaking: small, peaceful, and full of activities like hiking, swimming, biking, camping, sauna, and beach days. The accommodation is spacious, there’s always food, and bikes are provided. I came planning to stay less but ended up wishing I could stay much longer. Thank you for everything!

Simply amazing!!!! I had my best time in Skrova. I've been here for over a month and even if the island is really small, i never got tired of it. I wish i could stay longer!
Monica and Mario are incredibly kind and since the begining i felt really welcomed, both by them and the other volunteers. The work is about 5 hours per day, that leaves you with a lot of free time to enjoy the beach, hiking, swimmig, biking, camping and just spending time with the other volunteers.
I highly recommend this experience.

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🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴❤️⛰️
