We were moving from the south to the north coast that day. A nice and easy drive through the heart…read moreof Sicily. Funnily enough, in the middle of almost nowhere there is this Outlet!
It was summer and temperatures went way beyond 100°F. Not really any shade on the parking lot, so it doesn't matter where you leave your car...it will be boiling inside (be aware of that fact when it comes to leaving kids, pets ... or even freshly bought food in the car).
The Outlet itself has a beautiful setting. It really IS a village itself with countless lovely built stores in all colors.
There's also a good number of restaurants for every budget as well as bathrooms.
Some stores offers really good discounts, some on the other hand....not. So you really depend on two things: Luck and time. You either bring enough time to check out the offers or you just hope the best and get lucky. We thought the "Guess" and the "MK" store really did have good offers the time we visited.
Be sure to listen to the announcements over the speaker. On very short notice (minutes before) they will announce several times a day which store is up for an extra discount for the next 20-30 minutes. And then...run! Luckily we were just standing in front of the MK store when it got announced (20% extra off on handbags). People really will come running....and fight for the items. We got lucky....
So, it's a really cool place to grab some good stuff. Bring enough time (and money) to enjoy it fully. There are also several companies selling daytrips from many major towns in Sicily. Another good thing: Dogs are welcome here (just not IN the stores) and there's enough shade for your furry friend.
