A trullo today costs between a few thousand to several hundred thousand euros, depending on its condition, its amenities -- some even come with a swimming pool -- and whether it comes in clusters, a coveted option for families.
The trullo house is made of small stones and is built with the dry-stone technique; its conical pyramid roof gives the building a particular original aspect that can only be admired in the Valley of Itria.
Families would start off with one trullo and build more as they grew, joining them with stone passageways.
