Pension Gradina



The work here is varied and amongst other things includes:

*daily maintenance of the facilities/ grounds
*farm work at other sites at my family’s nearby olive grove which includes gardening and
watering as well as help with Eco Projects
*picking of olives (end of October/ all November)

Opportunities are also available for people with practical skills such as carpentry, general maintenance and painting, and we are also interested in people who would like to share their countries traditions, language and cuisine.

Die Arbeit hier ist vielschichtig. Dazu gehört zum Beispiel:

*tägliches In-Ordnung-halten de Objekts
*Farmarbeit auf den lokalen Farmen und im Olivenhain unserer Familie, welches Gärtnern &
Giessen sowie Hilfe bei ökologischen Projekten einschliesst
*Oliven pflücken/ ernten (Ende Oktober/ gesamter November)

Es sind auch praktische Kenntnisse wie Zimmern, generelle Reparaturarbeiten sowie Malern erwünscht, und wir sind auch an work awayern interessiert, die gern ihre Traditionen, Sprache sowie Ess-und Kochkultur teilen.

IMPORTANT
Please be aware that it is essential to be pro-active and that you are ok with getting your hands dirty. Sometimes your days may be physically demanding and you should be prepared to start early (ca. 6 or 7 am) during warmer weather.
This is a sharing experience, so please do not treat your work time here as a free holiday.
You can expect to be working ca. 5 hrs a day, 6 days a week. These working hours can be flexible depending on the work load.

Annual work cycle
April to September is our high season. ‘GRADINA’s’ quiet season is in October & November and again in February & March. During this time we concentrate mainly on the farm, working in the olive groves and to re-build and renovate.
Experience over time has shown that it is best when you stay for a minimum of two weeks.
You are very welcome to mutually share hard work, lots of fun and joy.



WICHTIG
Bitte sei Dir bewusst, dass es wesentlich ist pro-aktiv zu sein und sich auch mal die Hände schmutzig zu machen. Manche Tage können körperlich anstrengend sein und im Hochsommer wird auch mal gegen 6 oder 7 Uhr frühmorgens gestartet.
Es ist kein freier Urlaub hier sondern ein gegenseitiges Teilen, Geben und Nehmen.
Die durchschnittliche Arbeitszeit beträgt 5 Stunden am Tag, 6 Tage die Woche. Dies kann auch mal flexibel gestaltet sein, so wie es die Situation am Tag erfordert.

Jahresarbeitszyklus
April bis September ist Hochsaison in der Pension und im Restaurant GRADINA.
‚GRADINA’s ruhige Saison ist in den Monaten Oktober, November, Februar und März. In dieser Zeit arbeiten wir vor allem auf der Farm, in den Oliven-Hainen und tätigen Renovierungs- und Reparaturarbeiten.
Mit der Zeit hat uns die Erfahrung gelehrt, dass es für beide Seiten sinnvoll ist, wenn ihr mindestens 2 Wochen hier bleibt.
Ein Herzliches willkommen zum gegenseitigen Teilen von harter Arbeit, Freude und Spass.

My name is Robert. Over the years I spent quite a bit of time in Berlin, yet my true home has always been the picturesque village of Loviste at the Adriatic, north of Dubrovnik, in Croatia. In 2011, I finally said farewell to the ‘big city’ and since then my focus has been on helping my family to run the pension & restaurant ‘GRADINA’, to work on our ecologically oriented farm, to provide the restaurant with fresh fish that needs to be caught daily and to do all maintenance work needed around the ground, farm and olive grove. Loviste is a beautiful place and I would like to invite you to come here and work & share with us. In exchange you will get fresh seafood, delicious meals, clean comfortable accommodation and plenty of free time to relax & explore. Mein Name ist Robert. Obwohl ich über eine längere Zeit in Berlin gelebt habe, ist mein wahres Zuhause doch immer das landschaftlich idyllische Dorf Loviste geblieben, an der schönen Adria, nördlich von Dubrovnik in Kroatien. Seitdem ich mich im Jahr 2011 endgültig von der ‚grossen Stadt‘ verabschiedet habe, liegt mein Fokus darauf meiner Familie in ‚GRADINA‘, einer Pension mit Restaurant zu helfen, auf unserer ökologisch orientierten Farm zu arbeiten, das Restaurant täglich mit frisch gefangenem Fisch zu versorgen und die um das Objekt, die Farm und die Oliven- Haine anfallenden Arbeiten zu tätigen. Loviste ist ein sehr schönes Örtchen und ich möchte dazu einladen herzukommen und gemeinsam mit uns zu arbeiten & teilen. Im Austausch dazu gibt es frische, schmackhafte Fischgerichte, eine saubere und bequeme Unterkunft sowie viel freie Zeit zum Erholen und Erkunden.

If you are a real volunteer (not someone hunting for free food/free accommodation) for sure you will have an amazing time here! Robert is an authentic person and once you understand him and his way of life things just flow with ease! Picking olives was awesome and unique experience! The food was so good, Fatima and Amir were always ready to feed me with the best delights. I also helped in the restaurant (a lot of organizing), cleaning and recycling. And at the end of the day I was blessed with unbelievables sunsets. Do what you are here for and get what you deserve! Robert, you rock!

Staying and working at Guesthouse Gardina was a great start to my volunteer work and travel experience. Robert and the team are all welcoming and warm hearted people. The town is very relaxed and beautiful. The work is diverse and you can learn a lot as well as pick up interesting skills. It's a great place to visit and I'd happily go back!

The island is beautiful and calm, and the food prepared by the restaurant chefs is good. I helped prepare the hotel rooms, do laundry, and pick figs.

The place is beautiful and peaceful. The food is always very good. The accommodation I stayed in was new, so there was no water or electricity, but we were offered another one if we wanted to change within a few days. Working hours are respected, and the work is relaxed. Sometimes communication wasn't clear, which led to some arguments, but nothing serious.
