Trulli Scrumptious

“A Trullo (plural: Trulli) is a very unique style of farm house, with a very interesting history. Found only in the region of Puglia, these conical houses have long been used for housing, storage and shelter by the local people. The name actually derives from the Greek word troulos, which means dome or cupola.”

Whilst staying with friends in Martina Franca, I spotted many of these deserted dwellings, all of them for sale. The suggested price for a ‘project’ was around 50,000 euros and those fully renovated were fetching substantially more.
