The Experience

Hello, my family owns a little hotel and restaurant in Lovište, Croatia. To prepare the summer season some things in and around the house have to be done. Like painting walls, repairing something, helping my grandparents in the garden and so on. If you like to see a beautiful spot in Croatia and want to help us, we are happy to welcome you. Best regards, Team Gradina

Amazing place! Tasks are simple: cleaning, doing laundry, keeping everything organized and functioning and some times helping in the restaurant. Once you know what to do, you're quite independent and manage your own hours. The accommodation is 1.3km away but there are bikes and a car available to use. Robert is also very flexible and let us use the car to drive to Orebić for the day. The food was okay, they prepare it at the restaurant. I'm vegetarian so I did have to buy my own protein at times unless I wanted to eat salad/pasta only. Overall, it was a great experience!

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!

Pros: - beaches are really beautiful and the village is very tranquil and peaceful. We had a great time in that enjoyable environment. - Most of the staff were also really helpful and friendly. Cons: - There were numerous of miscommunication issues, the restaurant owner didn't know exactly me and my friend were going to volunteer until that morning. Regarding the tasks allocation, it was extremely unclear. The owner didn't mention clearly what tasks we have to do and instead just claimed that “you would know what you should do if you treat it as your home” and has been sarcastic all the time

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!
