We traveled from the Certaldo area...twice. The directions are key. Use a GPS if you can. Beyond the city of Montevachi, into Levanalla..a tiny hamlet. There is a warehouse area Via Biancorp and you will see the signs for SPACE OUTLET, pull around the roundabout and drive to the main gate. They have a lovely cafe too! To die for... more

It is a quite hard to find and even if you have the address. Yet, on arrival, you wouldn't believe from the outside that these buildings are the home to the infamous Prada outlet. Yet, once you come in, it's an entirely different world! It's huge and beautiful! Everything is very well organized and the personell are as professional and... more

We went in July. For those who live in Asia, this outlet has better selection & prices than Hong Kong's Space. Unfortunately, have never been to the US Prada outlet so have no basis for comparison. Lots of past season shoes at EUR75. A classic leather wallet I was looking at in town that cost EUR240 was sold here for... more

Colection for man is poor; limited numbers and models . The Mall is much better.( if you can miss Prada and have all other brands) more

Staying in the Chianti region for 2 weeks, we thought this would be the closest factory outlet to get to and the reviews of it were promising. After having arrived there after getting lost (we had hired a car for our trip), we found the prices to still be quite expensive relative to what I would normally spend for a... more

I was in Montevarchi (near Florence) December 21st 2008. I visited Florence many times previously, so the main purpose of this visit was to check out the outlet. I must say I was not disappointed, although my husband and I were a bit worried when we left the (tiny) Montevarchi station to find that no taxi was in sight. With... more

I was worried that with the value of the dollar, a trip to the Prada outlet Space wouldn't be worth it. Instead, I came away with a fabulous new bag, and even with the exchange rate, it was well below what I would have paid in the US. I wish I could have visited The Mall, but we were on... more

The Prada outlet is indeed located on the outskirts of this provincial Italian town. If you have Daddys money to spend, are stick thin and love yourself then you will be OK. For the rest of us Mortals who eat and hold down a job then be sure to go for the entertainment value. Prima donnas were in abundance and... more

I first visited the Prada factory outlet in 2005 and have been hooked ever since. Instead of buying full price in London, there's nothing more fun than booking a bargain flight to Pisa, driving through the beautiful countryside and spending a few days pooching around The Mall ( a collection of stylish outlet stores which sell Bottega Veneta, Gucci, Valentino,... more
