8 Uncrowded Spots for Breathtaking Cipressi Views in Tuscany
Everyone flocks to Tuscany searching for those iconic, perfectly aligned cipressi trees guarding the rolling hills. The word on the street is: "You have to go to Baccoleno, home to the most beautiful road on earth!" But sometimes, the road to Baccoleno is closed, leaving eager photographers disappointed and their dreams unfulfilled.
But when Baccoleno closes, Tuscany still welcomes you! 😜
Truthfully, I came to Tuscany for the wine, not specifically for the cipressi. These tall, slender trees standing straight like a promise weren't initially part of the plan.
But Tuscany always finds a way to make you look twice...
We stumbled upon some picturesque spots with dreamy rows of cipressi that, while not Baccoleno, are absolutely stunning:

There are many spots along this route where we stopped simply because the light shining through the cipressi was so beautiful. Remember to go early or at dusk to catch the golden hour.
There are some places you visit that linger in your heart long after you've left.
Tuscany is such a place!!
Where rolling hills echo like memories, and the rows of cipressi stand still as time.
🥰 If you are planning a trip to Tuscany, don't miss out on these cipressi moments just because Baccoleno is closed.
