Tuscany
is traditionally known for its stunning countryside,
charming towns, delectable cuisine not to mention its
Chianti wine. Did you know that Tuscany is also a
shopper’s paradise? This region of Italy offers a wide
variety of shopping experiences from local artisan
boutiques, designer outlets, outdoor markets, jewelry
stores, fabric and linen houses, galleries and much
more.
The discount outlets are spread throughout the Tuscan
region and represent just about every designer including
Prada, Salvatore Ferragamo, YSL, Sergio Rossi, Fendi,
Giorgio Armani, Gucci to name a few. The incredible
savings are between 40-70% off Italian retail price.
Non-European Union shoppers can claim a tax refund on
purchases which is an added bonus.
Getting to the outlets is not easy for tourists as some
are located in non-descript places. Our private escorts
are familiar with all of them, know when to go and where
to find the best buys. In fact, our resident guides will
be with us throughout our stay taking us to places that
are off-the-beaten path for an even more personalized
and genuine experience.
To ensure that you get to know Tuscany and all that it
has to offer, we organize the tour to allow sufficient
time for sightseeing. The tour includes wine tastings,
vineyard tours, historical sites and museums as well as
a cooking class. During free time treat yourself to a
visit to one of the many spas or even better - unwind in
the Tuscan thermal waters so that you go back home
feeling restored.
Umbria is similar to Tuscany. Its network of hill towns
is among the most charming in Italy. Experience the
enduring gems of this region, filled with pure
landscapes and most importantly the warmth and vitality
of the Italian people.
A visit to this region – known as the more relaxed
“authentic” Italy - is magical. Combining it with
shopping excursions offers the best of both worlds.
