Description
We run a elevated camping site, a glamping experience tucked into the wild landscape of Sardinia, Italy. We're a small, hands-on team in the middle of building something we genuinely believe in: a place where guests slow down, sleep under canvas, and feel like they've stepped out of the ordinary.
We're not a big resort. We're a startup in the truest sense and growing fast. Every corner of the camp has been shaped by people who care about the details: the morning light hitting the tents, the smell of wild herbs in the garden, the sound of nothing in particular.
I'm Matteo. I've worked in innovation and operations across Europe:P&G Belgium, tech startups, and ended up here in Sardinia because this project felt worth betting on. I'm direct, curious, and I'll treat you like an adult. If you're the kind of person who notices when something's a bit off and just fixes it without being asked, we'll get along very well.
We host Workawayers because we genuinely think the exchange works — you get Sardinia, we get someone who actually gives a damn. Simple as that.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Sardinia is not Italy in the way most people imagine Italy. It's older, quieter, and stranger — in the best sense. The island has its own dialect, its own food logic, its own relationship with time. Spending a season here, even a short one, leaves a mark.
At out Camp you won't just be around the landscape — you'll help inside it. You'll learn what it takes to keep an outdoor hospitality space alive: how a glamping property reads the rhythm of the week, how guests arrive stressed and leave different, how a small team makes decisions fast with limited resources. If you're interested in hospitality, entrepreneurship, or sustainable tourism, you'll see all three up close, not from a textbook.
We'll cook together most evenings. Sardinian food is hyperlocal and deeply seasonal — bottarga, culurgiones, pane carasau, things you won't find explained well anywhere online. We forage when the season allows it. We source from producers nearby. You'll leave knowing how to eat here, which is its own kind of knowledge.
We'll share what we know about the island: where to swim without crowds, which trails are worth the effort, how to navigate local markets, a few words of Sardo if you're curious. In return we're genuinely interested in where you come from — what you've seen, what you do, what you're figuring out. That exchange is real, not performative.
If you help in the garden you'll develop a practical sense of Mediterranean horticulture — what grows here, why, and how to maintain it with minimal intervention. It's slow, physical, outdoor tasks that teaches you to pay attention.
We operate as a startup in a traditional industry. The conversations around the dinner table are often about building things — what works, what doesn't, what we'd do differently. If that interests you, pull up a chair.Host offers payment in line with the minimum wage

Help
Around 5 hours a day, 5 days out of 7. We're flexible on timing within the day — mornings work best for outdoor tasks.
We offer a minimum wage compensate the experience.
Garden and grounds: manual irrigation, weeding, planting, raking, keeping the green areas of the camp looking the way guests expect them to. No machinery, no chemicals, no heavy lifting. Mostly meditative tasks in an incredible setting.
Guest support (optional, based on your interest and skills): welcoming arrivals, sharing local tips, helping with check-in logistics. If you speak languages beyond English, even better — our guests come from across Europe.
What we don't expect: perfection, silence, or anyone who needs constant direction. We do expect reliability, honesty, and a genuine interest in being here.

Accommodation
Workawayers stay in the camp, not outside it. You'll have your own dedicated unit: either a furnished bungalow or a proper glamping tent, depending on availability during your stay. Both are the same units we offer to paying guests: real beds, linen included, no cots behind the storage room.
Bungalows are solid structures with more than 20m² of indoor space, a private sleeping area, and shared/private bathroom. Ventilated, with fan/AC, they work well through the hotter weeks of summer.
Glamping tents are fully furnished safari-style tents on raised platforms: double or twin bed, side tables, reading light, small wardrobe. The vibe is closer to nature — you'll hear the wind and the cicadas at night. Bathroom facilities are few meters away, clean and well-maintained.
Both options have access to the common areas of the camp: break area, lounge/dining area, laundry, outdoor showers, and the same spaces guests use during the day.
We'll tell you in advance which unit you're getting. We won't move you around unless something genuinely forces it.
The camp is in Capitana (Quartu Sant Elena), surrounded by Mediterranean scrub / olive trees / open countryside. Nights are dark and quiet. If you need urban stimulation to function, this probably isn't your moment — if you sleep better when it's actually dark and silent, you've found the right place.
What else ...
What we offer
Half board: breakfast and dinner prepared with local ingredients, eaten together with the team. Your own accommodation within the camp — a proper glamping unit, not a tent stuffed behind the kitchen.
Free time is yours completely. You're in Sardinia — 30m from capitana beach, close to hiking trails, local markets, and the kind of coastline that makes people book flights back.
We'll introduce you to the island and point you toward the spots that don't show up on travel blogs.
