  Description

  Hi guys! I am a musician who after a few years out of my region decided to enhance my heritage home and field. I love where I live because 50 meters away I have the beach and the sea for swimming, fishing with my little boat and campfires, with the mountainous Calabrian Apennines peaking through for beautiful hikes along rivers and woods where I can go in search of porcini mushrooms.
  On my property there are citrus, fig, vineyard, persimmon, olive and oak trees. In one part of the field there are also my colourful chickens in a small barrack, ensuring that I always have fresh eggs.
  
  If you have a musical instrument, bring it with you-or you can choose which one to play from the traditional Calabrian music at home!

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  My girlfriend and I will be able to teach you all about traditional cooking, fishing from the boat, pruning techniques for fruit trees, Italian and especially Calabrian dialect.
  Regarding music, a world will open up to you: I have a degree in jazz violin but what I love to play and study are traditional instruments, such as: frame drums (and how to make them), Calabrian lira, fiddler violin and many others.

  Autres infos...

  From home (located in Fuscaldo Marina) to the nearest station there are 3.6 km. On the same route are the post office, pharmacy, small stores, bars, and restaurants. The supermarket is also easily accessible at 1.4 km.
  
  The historic center Fuscaldo is perched on the hill 350 meters above sea level, 6.6 km from Fuscaldo Marina. The center is famous for its medieval architecture, called “the Land of a Hundred Portals,” from which comes the great school of master “Scalpellini” sandstone workers.
  
  The largest town on the coast is Paola, 10 km away, where the main station is also located and from where you can easily reach major cities such as Cosenza, Diamante, Amantea, Pizzo Calabro, and Tropea.
  Paola is also very suggestive to visit: it is a tourist-bathing destination of the Riviera of San Francesco, visited annually for its beaches and historical-architectural-religious heritage.
  
  The main airport is in Lamezia Terme (Sant'Eufemia), easily reached by train and bus.
