Destinations Desk
Camilla De Santis
Camilla De Santis is based in Milan and covers destinations and dining for Luxury.it: where to base a trip, when to go, and which coastlines, cities and dining rooms are worth the detour. She likes the shoulder seasons, the island that empties in September, the trattoria that has not changed its menu in forty years and the tasting menu that earns every one of its courses. She travels by train wherever a train exists.
