The Experience

I am a guitar player and singer song-writer and wish to learn to play the fiddle from scratch. I've already bought a playable violin and need an experienced violin player staying at my place long-term in order to teach me. I am a retired engineerwith a small income and live off-grid in the beautiful countryside of Southern Italy at the foot of Pollino Mountain Chain. I harvest fruit and do a bit of natural farming in my land. I can teach Italian

Antonio is a very helpful guy always willing to support you, he made me feel at home. He loved his food because it was so variable. And the truth is that you don't get bored with him because he is a very intelligent person and knows a lot of things, he helped me improve both English and Italian.

I stayed at Antonio's place for a short but good time. If you're looking for some time to re-experience the traditional, simple way of living, to share your musical knowledge with others, to get in touch with the locals and the nature it would be so much fun. During my stay Antonio has been extremely generous and thoughtful for my comfort, he brought me around to his friend group with whom I really enjoyed my time with and grateful to.

The host gave me all the necessary information to arrive, he was kind, the time I communicated with him, he did not complete being every day but it seemed like a country home, ecological, inspiring, but I decided to move house because I had to go to Rome and I liked being near Rome. the host is friendly. but not. it's easy to get home, for me.

Antonio lives in a very simple way without electricity and running water in the house. He himself is friendly and can teach you a lot about living a minimalistic lifle. Although i liked his simple way of living i left his place earlier because it was difficult for me to feel comfortable at his place. His house was very messy and i think the walls were moldy as well. There weren't a lot of things to do so i got bored quickly at his place. For me it was not the right place to stay but if you are looking for a place to relax and don't mind mess then you will for sure enjoy your stay.

At the time Bianca was there, I was sick because of a serious back injuries and could not even stand up or bend, so I was not able to fix the mess. Even doing many usual activities was very painful for me. I was sorry Bianca left so early cause she was a good percussionist. We manage to play a bit together notwithstanding my back pain. I told her I was sick and proposed to help me cleaning and tidying up a bit in her room, but she decided to leave anyway. I recovered only a few days ago and since then I cleaned up the mess in my house.
