The MALL......outside Florence...luxury brands

Did you say Gucci.....I am definitely on the way...and Armani...Burberry.....Prada...Versace...Hugo Boss...Trussardi...Michael Kors....oh my word....I think I am in heaven.

I have been to this MALL before....but at that time it was a lot smaller...and man, it has improved...I was very impressed. It took us 45min from our house...so in fact...not bad at all....and definitely worth...designer brands about 30% off....AMAZING. Let me share some pics of the mall

The MALL

We started off at Armani where mom and dad bought some clothes and Mutti and mom bought handbags. After that...some window shopping in Burberry....then Gucci.....and of course I spotted that Gucci had a Cafe...which we thought we should try for lunch....its on the third floor with a terrace...but terrace little bit cold this time of the year....have a look at the sign....

Gucci Cafe

Inside quite stylish...three different food stations/ sections....a coffee and sweets, then a warm section, then a alcohol, salads and sushi section....yummie....let me share some pics...

 Coffee and sweets section

Dad decided on the hot section, Mutti decided on the coffee section and mom and I opted for a glass of Prosecco with some sushi....and we were all very pleased with our selection...the sushi was yummie...not as good as the ship...but still very yummie. It is something we do not get too often so it is really appreciated. The prices...average...not bad at all. Let me share a pic of my food...

  Sushi and Prosecco

After that it was time to do some more shopping...we checked out Trussardi, Paul & Shark and Michael Kors...and yes, we did find some more goodies to purchase...so guess what....we were successful. We would have liked to look at a few more shops, but we thought it was enough for Sofia. She had been so good and we believed it was enough for her now. Hope you enjoyed this...and trust me if you are ever near here, go and visit it, it is really worth it. I will take Kim there in January when he is off the ship.....for now...cheers....chat soon.

Podere il Casale

Beautiful place near Monticchiello in the Southern Tuscany. My parents, together with Mutti and Sofia went there whilst Kim and I were in Corsica. They raved about it, stating that it was Swiss owned and they met the couple who owns and runs it. They are actively involved and so are their children. Their food is produced on the farm, they are famous for their Pecorino cheese. They also offer Pizza and bread courses, camping etc etc....in fact i was really looking forward to visiting this place. They have outdoor and indoor seating but i must say the outdoor seating cannot be compared to the indoor hall. The outside is quaint, picturesque and has breath-taking views. There is quite a long dirt road following up to Podere il Casale....its not so easily found. The sign at the entrance is also not too good. Once we parked a beautiful sign welcomed us....let me share a pic... Podere il Casale As mentioned the place was quaint and picturesque with beautiful laid tables....and a fabulous vi...
