So important to the local economy, the place has its own traffic lights off the main road heading south from Montevarchi. The big grey building called SPACE has plenty of parking - mostly empty when we were there early in May 2012. There is a ticketing system for use when the place is packed to the doors but no need...

We took the train and shared a cab with some friends we made at the cab stand. Had to wait a while for the regular cab although there is a unofficial one offering rides. When we arrive at 9.30, there were 2 Americans waiting at the main black gate which was not opened. There were less than 10 of us... More

Montevarchi I have been a very desirable place, the environment with the people who live there are very good.

My partner and I recently visited the SPACE Prada Outlet at Montevarchi and had a very enjoyable experience. To start with, transportation by train and taxi was extremely easy and very inexpensive. We caught the train from Firenze SMN to Montevarchi station which took about 30 minutes each way (there are some trains that take 60 minutes). When we arrived... More

Once at the destination, it was a mad dash for the few cabs in town. We... More

Sharing a cab to the outlet cost 3euros/person while taking a cab entirely to yourselves cost 12euros We left Florence at 9am... More

If you are into Prada, this is the place. Price-wise it is definitely a worthwhile place to visit. Otherwise, it is ok to skip as it is about an hour drive outside of Florence City.

I went to Space first thing in the morning before visiting The Mall. Catching the train to Montevarchi was fairly straightforward but then people started running it the taxis at the other end...and that was when I knew it was going to get nasty, Unfortunately many of the tourists who go here (and the mall) seem ultra competitive and almost...

A little shopping diversion for lovers of Prada brands. Prices are ok, and selection varies. Sizes run rather small by American standards but that is the brand. Can make for a fun souvenir for the Prada lover or teen fashionista in need of a break from more cultural or food oriented options.
