A beautifully stunning location with warm locals. Comfortable accommodation within the hotel and amazing meals cooked by the chefs. Hours are a little flexible because you are like part of the family and the place needs something done at all times. Robert has a wonderful sense of humor and wants to know your feedback throughout the experience. The daily tasks were slightly different which kept it fun and exciting. Don't allow yourself to take anything too personal here and you will be just fine! the inn, Thank you for taking great care of me this past month and helping me to learn!!!

I truly felt like a part of the family! I learned a lot about local culture and olive farming. The place wasn't easy to get to but the host helped me to get there and back. We had some problems with communication in English but figured everything out eventually. If you love olives and fresh fish this place is for you!

I had a great experience volunteering at the inn. The place itself is amazing; immediate waterfront and beautiful sunsets, delicious food freshly made for every meal, kind and generous people. The work is reasonable with a lot of variety and the working hours are respected, but the work can be very unorganized and we were often given insufficient or contradictory instructions to our tasks. You will be given harsh feedback both to your face and behind your back, but in the end the owner and his team are awesome and always want to make sure you're comfortable. I truly enjoyed my time here!

I had an amazing time here, it's such a beautiful place and I was welcomed by everyone there. The work was reasonable and hours respected, the split of the hours makes it a bit hard to explore too far away but for me, I was more than happy spending time around the restaurant and snorkelling in the water out the front. If you're looking for an opportunity to meet some interesting and fun people and be by the ocean then I recommend :) also the food is so good!!
