To US customers: if your item gets stuck at any 1 of 5 ISC (USPS) throughout the US - be patient, it feels as though you made a mistake, its not, but it may take longer than you expected. No tariff was asked for upon US entry. I was prepared to pay one, but didn't have to. (set as an expectation & be ready if needed). Best part? Andre was in contact with me and to his shipping partners the whole time - outstanding customer service. (I asked him to process an inquiry on his end; he did) ( I learned how submit one from my side). For peace of mind, choose the fastest shipping option AND get the package insurance. No promises; it's what I WILL be doing moving forward with any big purchase overseas. Lastly, Andre expressed the stress he feels as well when a shipment goes missing, You really can't ask for more.

Also I love their Manor restaurant, we ate there few times and it was very cost effective. Clothing department wasn't anything special a lot of American brands that we have in USA, so we were not interested in clothes. But I highly recommend their to -go smoothies and food. And also MANOR restaurant is very good also open during 3-5 when all restaurants in town are closed.

I came here for their cafeteria style dining and it was very busy because I came during the lunch rush. There is salad, pizza, meat, wine, breads, fresh juice and a lot more. Everything is individually priced so it does add up. I wanted to explore Manor and they had so much merchandise. They have things for home, toys, novelty items, clothes, sports equipment and a lot more. Seriously, everything you need is in here. Again, price is a little steep.

One of the best outlet stores I have ever been to. Armani is a genius with design and quality and…read moreit is extended to this store. You would never know you were in an outlet store, the service and selection is that of a large store on Rodeo drive (actually I take that back, the service is WAY better than Rodeo). They have everything, Men's, Women's, Children's clothing, shoes and accessories. Prices are very very good. Make sure you go all the way to the back of the store. They have so much to choose from. Make sure you ask for tax free, they will give you the receipts and paperwork you will need to take to the airport and get your taxes refunded. When you factor that into the already discounted prices you will see the huge savings. The more you spend the higher the tax rate of return, so you save more money, when you spend more. This is a definite stop.

My wife went in there on our first day in Stresa, after asking in the Tourist Office on the waterfront if any local stores sold luggage. (One of our large suitcases had lost a wheel and half its handle on the trip over from the USA.) Valentina, one of the owners and fluent in English, was so gracious and accommodating in showing my wife various pieces, then offering to bring in a Samsonite suitcase from their other store for her purchase the next morning. I don't know how Valentina could have been any more delightful to deal with, despite her protracted hassle getting "the system" to electronically accept our passport info so we could claim a refund on the VAT at the Milan airport. That was on our second day in Stresa. On our third and last day in Stresa, a Sunday, we were on the Lake Maggiore Express from morning through early evening. My wife kept commenting that she wished she had bought a very distinctive handbag in Casamonti that would be an instant and useful remembrance of our vacation in Italy, but she feared she had missed the opportunity. As soon as the ferry from Locarno docked at 19:10, my wife raced over to Casamonti because Valentina had told her on Saturday the store would open until 19:00 that Sunday. Valentina and her mother had almost shut the store, yet they welcomed her in just like an old friend and took the time to show her several purses. My wife was so thrilled to have another purchase from Casamonti. Although I don't think we will have the opportunity to return to Stresa, if we do, I suspect my wife will make a beeline to Casamonti!
