Italy Podere Belvedere in the Val D'orcia Tuscany
The beautiful landscapes of the Val d'Orcia, which inspired many Renaissance painters, are dotted with many small villages, castles, abbeys, and villages, each with its incredible history. Time still passes slowly here. The morning mist and the sunrise make this one of the most beautiful vistas in Europe.
Photography Tips
Sunrise in the Spring is the best time to capture the morning mist, use a tripod. Come early, this place fills up fast about 30 mins before first light.
Travel Information
1 km outside San Quirico on the road to Pienza pull in by the layby and walk through the trees. I could not find the location at the first attempt because it is not visible from the parking. You would need to park the car and then walk straight into the olive garden which is on the right side. The right spot is about 100 meters away: 43.06371, 11.61043
