Trulli huts are medieval stone houses that were built originally without mortar. They have individual turrets and sometimes they have symbols whitewashed on their roofs. No one knows what the symbols mean; some think they were pre-Christian religious icons, while others think they were used to identify the buildings from one another. Whatever they were, they added a Tolkien flavor to our stay. They were a bit damp, and small, but on the whole they were fun and interesting. And we stayed in one! Now we can say that we stayed in a Trulli hut and I can get that "Truly Scrumptious" CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG song out of my head.
