Cypresses road, Monticchiello

A very suggestive stretch is the road of the curves of Monticchiello, which has cypresses as its protagonists.
The best way to get an image for your Instagram profile of this scenic road is to take the dirt road that you take at km 1 of the SP 88 and that leads up to the top of the hill.

You will find yourself in front of the famous road and from that angle and height you will be able to take the best shots.
Furthermore, do not miss the opportunity to visit the nearby Monticchiello: a splendid medieval village with stone houses and narrow streets where you can enjoy a quiet and old-fashioned atmosphere, as well as a superb view over the entire Val d’Orcia.
