Description
My name is Massimiliano, I am the owner of our family-run hotel situated on the east coast of Sardinia.
The hotel stands for outdoor, nature and activities and is located in the hill town of Dorgali, a realm of olive groves and vineyards, just 8km from the beach of Cala Gonone (Gulf of Orsei).
I'm working with my wife and my parents to run the hotel. It's a small structured business but by now we do have 39 rooms and can therefore accommodate quite a lot of guests. Starting into the new season we are looking for open, outgoing volunteers to help us with daily tasks at and around the hotel.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are a sardinian family, we can teach you the tradition and you will be able to taste local Sardinian food.
Volunteers can learn a lot about the management as well as the day-to-day tasks of running a hotel.
Especially during the high-season our days can be very busy and stressful and there is always a lot to do. Nevertheless in a family-run business like ours you can expect a fun environment in which you work very closely with your colleagues. If you are not afraid to start a new adventure - indpendent if you have worked at a hotel before - reach out and join us!
