Lynette welcomed us in style for our New Year's stay on the island with a bottle of champagne in the fridge to bring in 2016. Her warm and assuring presence left us feeling like we have a friend in Ortigia. During our four day stay we sourced all of our fresh fish and produce from the daily farmer's market around the corner from the apartment. Experimenting with new dishes each day we found inspiration from Lynette's Italian cookbook, she composed from decades of cooking and living in Italy. The apartment is fully equipped with a kitchen made for cooking. Our cooking recommendation is to source fresh, local fish from the daily market, try a little chocolate tasting fruit called sorbe found at the market as well. When you're craving pasta and ravioli pick up a fresh batch at Casareccia Di Belfiori Giuseppi. Thank you, Lynette, for welcoming us to the captivating and enchanting island, we'll be back to visit.
