I tagged along with my wife as she explored the designer outlet stores here. We left on a 60 passenger bus from Milan and it took us an hour and a half to get to this outlet. You have about 6 hours to shop before your bus leaves again. The outlet offers free wifi throughout the whole complex. The deals at some of these stores are pretty significant. If we has gone to the same stores in the US we would of had to pay so much more. Plus, you get The VAT tax money back on top of the outlet savings. Literally, saved me hundreds if not thousands of dollars. There are a handful of places to eat here. Most didn't look that good to me other than one we went to. There is this Italian restaurant called Obica and everything was reasonably priced and good. We would definitely go back to this place. Finally, if you have kids they have a place where you can drop your kids off while you shop. Overall, pretty good experience and I hate to shop. read more

Seravalle outlets is about an hour and a half bus ride or 2 by train and shuttle from Milan. So the question, shoppers is: do I go or do I find someplace else? The answer lies in what kind of shopper you are. If you come to Milan armed with cash to spend that makes a late 1990's Paris Hilton shopping spree look conservative, then stay in the city. However, if you're conscientious or a mid level bargain luxury shopper this is probably one of the best places to go. You also will love this place if you enjoy meandering amongst shops like Gap, Michael Kors, Nike, Addidas. But the gems of this place are YSL, Versace, Gucci, Moschino, etc. Sure you may not find a classic piece if you have something very particular in mind, but lots of nice accessories can be found if you're looking to add something surprising to your closet. I personally felt quite happy with my YsL black handbag, Cassedei pumps, and moschino scarf. I'm a person who'd much rather pay full price for something I really like-- so I was very happy with my purchases to get them at a bargain and to really enjoy something unique. My husband, 6'2" also found many great pieces to add to his wardrobe-- nicely cut button up shirts, coats and jackets that we've never seen in he US markets. Facilities are very nice and an array of food options are available. Plan to spend a half to full day here including transportation. Remember your passport and pay with a Credit card; plan on getting in line for your tax refund (if you're from outside Italy) about an hour before you leave to ensure you don't miss your bus or train. Ciao Ciao! read more
