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

This is my first volunteering experience and one that has set a very high bar for other hosts! Robert is very kind and friendly whilst being a joy to work with. I had a lot of fun understanding how his guesthouse works and also about their lifestyle in a small town. He even brought me and my fellow volunteer to play soccer alongside other locals! The highlight was also the great food that was provided. Besides this, Loviste is just very beautiful and peaceful especially during the off peak season and allows for a very relaxing environment. I will miss the host and Loviste!

I had a great time staying at the inn! I felt very comfortable in my room and I felt very welcomed from the beginning. We had access to snorkels and paddle boards on our time off. The work was all physical but not too hard. It was a great experience to feel immersed with nature when working at the farm. The food was amazing and plentiful. Robert works very hard and appreciates all help.

This was my first Worldpackers experience and I had a great time. Robert is a funny and very generous man. I felt that he really wanted to make sure that I was happy during my time in Lovište. He is also extremely busy running his restaurant and olive farm, so I would recommend to someone able to be independent and flexible. Working hours are very well respected. About half in the morning and half in the evening. In your off time you can chill on the beach, snorkel, etc. My accommodation was shared in a room in the B&B. Food was amazing. I will miss the fresh fish :)

I spent two weeks at Pansion the inn. The landscapes were absolutely stunning, and I had plenty of free time to explore the beaches and relax. Initially, connecting with Robert at first was a bit challenging but things got better quickly, Robert was incredibly generous and has such a big heart. The tasks were simple, mainly watering plants, serving customers, polishing cutlery and glasses and making the terrace look nice. We also worked on the farm. Lyudmila, Izvieta, and Bogda, just like Robert, hold a special place in my heart. I truly enjoyed my time there. Thank you so much!
