Immersed in the beauty of the Crete Senesi landscape, near Asciano, this is one of the most beautiful territory of central Tuscany and definitely the most photographed.

Photography Tips

I am going to go at length here since this is necessary:
Be here early since you will need to park alongside the road where there are 2 small spots that contain 3 resp. 2 cars.
You are not allowed to park in front of Baccoleno's front gate, there are signs that it is a private property.
The photographers' paths and spots are easily recognized by the treaded grass paths, "naturally" created by the photographers and which can be easily seen when you zoom in on google map.
The sun sets behind the Baccoleno and one should hope for clouds (check meteo.it)
Once you parked alongside the road, you will see the path that leads uphill.
There are two tiers if you will on that hill: the upper one and the lower one. The upper one definitely does not provide a complete view of the S-shape road, more than the lower one. Better go immediately to the lower one before the spot is taken.
Bring a tripod, release cable, filters, sufficient charged batteries, sufficient space on your SD and lots of patience.
Make sure your phone is fully charged if you wish to use apps that will assist you
The light will be changing at a rapid pace, pay attention to metering
If you wish to stay until dark, bring a torch with you to find the path back to the car and to check that you have left nothing on the field once ready
There will be photography workshops ongoing but the leaders are professionals and you will not have any problems of squeezing in at the same vantage point
Last but not least, do not leave rubbish behind :-)

the coordinates are right. I used these ones to make my foto there :-) When you approach from east you see the farmhouse in the distance already and there is a sign leading to the cypress alley (behind a fence). Great spot, thank you, I never would have found there without that coordinates :-)

Looking on Google Map it seems that wrong coordinates are provided, may I advise you to check?

hi Alona, many thanks for your detailed description, I really like it. But the coordinates and map shown are for a different place, you will realize looking at Google Earth. Anyway it is easy to locate Agriturismo Baccoleno on Google Maps as reference point

Yes, Parking is on the main road, you will see the white patches where cars squeeze in. The main road is SP60, Strada Provinciale per Pecorile. Bear in mind, the spot is up on the hill which you cannot see from the main road. Once you reach the main gate, drive 75-100 m further where ever you can park. From the parking spot, just follow the path uphill and go right away to the lower tier, somewhat closer to Baccoleno, or simply whichever spot you desire on that hill. Good luck!!!
