  Description

  Hello everybody! This is Massimo Valerio (old latin names..... but feel free to call me just MASSI)! I'm staying at my lovely house just out of Palermo reachable by local BUS.....
  
  - PLS READ THE HOUSE RULES AND THE SECTION "TYPE OF ACCOMODATION" BEFORE SENDING A REQUEST.
  TO GET MY ANSWER BACK I NEED TO READ YOUR HOUSE RULES APPROVAL!
  
  Here some of my projects:
  
  - IN AUGUST: I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN A PROJECT SUPPORTING IMPOLLINATORS AND BIODIVERSITY! WE NEED TO COLLECT LOCAL WILD FLOWERS TO GET SEEDS AND MAKE SOME GERMINATION TESTS. Summer wild seeds are in countryside abandoned areas. we need geolocalizating the area before collecting the flowers to extract the seeds. Then we are going to work on the seeds for some tests and store the seeds.
  
  
  
  - Other activities in SUMMER: gardening maintenance, art festival in which I 'm involved.
  
  - AUTUMN: What to learn and doing in this season: olive oil production and olives harvesting as well as picking local myrtles for a an alcoholic liquor typical production of the mediterranean areas; preparing the woods for the fire place being ready for the winter
  
  These experiences can enrich you discovering rural life making new friends while working.
  
  I'm open to many projects linked with nature, agricolture and art. So be propositive.

  Accommodation

  VERY IMPORTANT: I offer a bed in a private room in a FKK countryside house. Spartan and Bromance lifestyle here ;)
  
  Naturism - Nudism is my way of living and the house is well positioned to live in a close contact with the nature in a full nudist way. ll provide of breakfast and dinner or lunch (not both) every day. I'd like, also, to offer to my guests a trip around this area every Sunday. This is NOT a smoking place so... don't tell " I don't smoke" but when here you pretend to smile "outside" the house. So once again.....it's a NOT SMOKING accommodation.... garden included!
  
  NOTE: If you have problems being nudist maybe this is not the right accommodation for you. Pls confirm this point in your first message.
