 Italy. Not sure how you cheated but I suspect you did. It sold quickly, never seen anything like that before. So how did you work it out? |

It's been on the box several times and is typical of the traditional house style around Puglia. They are Trulli magnificent - which is how I remember the name.

As I said, they have been on the box and that has to attract extra interest.
Fantastic though French rural architecture can be it has not received quite the same following. Colombage is OK but you ca get that in the UK. The same might be said for Breton stone and local slate roof. Tumble down stone/dry stone construction can be had in almost any national park in the UK. But that style of round building with the tapering "slate" roof going to a peak is a shape that went out of style in the UK when the iron age to early medieval communities abandoned their thatch and daub round houses.*
* Edit to correct. That sort of shape gained a renascence with converting oast houses to dwellings. But oast houses are even rarer than Trulli.
