The Prada outlet is located in Levanella, just past Montevarchi – or
before it, depending on which direction you are headed – on the SS 69.
It is not signposted. The building is white and has a sort of
“saw-tooth” shaped roof. Drive all the way around the back for the
entrance. From Florence, take the San Giovanni Valdarno exit off the
autostrada and follow the signs for Arezzo. The address is 55
Levanella. Tel: 055 9196528
The
Mall – Gucci, Ferragamo, Marni, Pucci, Tods and Hogans, etc. outlets:
take the Incisa exit from the autostrada, and head towards
Firenze/Pontessieve. Many small black signs (“The Mall”) mark the way.
Via Aretina 63, Leccio.
The Mall and the Prada outlet are
actually worth the trip. Things are not half price or anything
wonderful like that, but you can find some savings – especially on
Prada sweaters and Tods shoes.
The Valdichiana Outlet Village
is very close by; it is very much like a high end US-style outlet mall.
Take the Valdichiana autostrada exit off the A1 (one exit south of the
Monte San Savino exit). Brochures for it are in the small basket in the
house. The big draws for Italians and other Europeans are Nike, Calvin
Klein, and a couple other US brands – no huge savings if you are coming
from the US. There are some good, brand name, Italian houseware stores.
