    Description

    Hello everybody! This is Massimo Valerio (old latin names..... but feel free to call me just MASSI)! I'm living at my lovely house just out of Palermo reachable by BUS.....i 'm going to start to harvest Myrtle berries (MYRTUS in Latin) to make the famous MYRTUS LIQUOR for personal use. I also need a help to write some documents and papers for an Art Festival (I need a good British English help). Do you want to join me? I also need a hand to prepare woods for the winter fireplace.
    What to learn: this experience can enrich you discovering rural life and the process to produce olive oil as well as an alcoholic liquor typical of the mediterranean areas.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    VERY IMPORTANT: I can offer a bed in a private room in a countryside house. Spartan/military 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. Boat fishing experience is also included for sure!!

    If you have problems being nudist maybe this is not the right accommodation for you. Pls confirm this point in your first message.
