Noventa Designer Outlet – Venice

Veneto Designer Outlet – Inspired by the Palazzi of Venice:

McArthurGlen Noventa Outlet

The Castel Romano Designer Outlet is a regular shopping stop for us whenever we are in Rome.  However, on our latest trip to Venice we managed to find time to visit McArthurGlen’s Noventa Di Piave Designer Outlet situated outside of Venice.

Also known as Veneto Designer Outlet

The Noventa di Piave Designer Outlet is also known as the Veneto Designer Outlet.  The outlet opened in September 2008 and is McArthurGlen’s fourth Italian designer outlet, with Naples being the fifth.

Designer outlets are usually located quite a distance from the main city centres, in regions where rents are much cheaper. However, when I discovered how easy it was to get to the Noventa outlet from Piazzale Tronchetto (previously Piazzale Roma), it was a definite goer for us. With many of my favourite brand names at the outlet, it was hard to resist.

About the Noventa Outlet

All McArthurGlen outlets are designed to reflect the architecture of the region and the architectural design of Noventa Di Piave was inspired by the elegance of the palaces of Venice and Treviso.  The buildings are laid out along streets, plazas and squares, some of which are lined with covered archways. As we strolled around the complex, we had a true sense of shopping in Venice – there’s even a gondola to remind us of where we were. We had fine weather during our visit, however the covered archways ensured that we could still carry on with our shopping if the weather turned bad.

140 Designer Stores

But most important to shoppers are the number of stores and the brand names you will find here. Incidentally, many of these brands are no longer available at the Castel Romano outlet.  There are 140 stores and we are told that there are more to come in 2017.  Some of the 200 brand names include upmarket labels like Armani, Prada, Bottega Veneta, Valentino, Zegna, Paul Smith, Ferragamo, Fendi, Les Copains, Blumarine and Zadig & Voltaire.  The greatest drawcard is that there are discounts of up to 70% all year round. On top of this, you can claim VAT refund on your purchases.

Not enough time to shop

We caught the 10 am shuttle from Piazzale Tronchetto which got us here at about 11 am.  As we were returning to Venice on the 3 pm shuttle, that gave us four hours to check out the shops.  The next shuttle back was at 7 pm which was a bit late as we had work to do.

Four hours was not enough time to check out all the 140 shops so we targeted those that we were particularly interested in.  We managed to buy some shoes and clothing and although it was a successful shopping trip for us, I wished we had more time there. Never mind, this was an excuse for another shopping trip to Venice!
