A trullo is far more than a house: it is a piece of protected landscape. Before purchasing one, it is essential to understand its planning and cadastral compliance status, as many rural trulli have accumulated irregularities over the years.
Check the number of cones and whether any extensions have been added: a historic original trullo is one thing; additional volumes are quite another, and these may require retrospective planning consent. A technical survey with instrumental measurement will tell you straight away what is compliant and what is not.
Pay close attention to landscape restrictions: works and renovations often require specific authorisations. Our in-house technical team assesses feasibility before you commit to a purchase, so there are no unpleasant surprises after completion.
Finally, consider the costs: renovating a trullo follows its own rules and calls for its own materials — chianche, lime render, dry-stone walling. A realistic estimate of the works, carried out before you buy, is the difference between a sound investment and a costly headache.
