Adele's place is located in the heart of Ortigia - with a short walk from the sea, with some awesome sheltered pools to swim in. You can leave all your gear behind, and stroll down to the sea with ease - I especially liked to explore the rock pools bursting with life. All the historic attractions of Ortigia are within a short walk, and there are plenty of restaurants for you to try.
The apartment is well equipped with everything you would need for an extended stay. I was there for four weeks and found the kitchen stocked with more than enough to cook a decent meal.
There is a desk in the bed room provides plenty of room and storage, with a desk for you to set up and work should you need, but the best feature of this place is the roof terrace. I spent a lot of time up there, some times setting up with my laptop to work (tho sometimes the glare of the sun makes it hard to see the screen) spread and do some exercises, or as a nice place to take my meals or do my Italian lessons. It really was a great spot.
As for the decorating, it is a little dated, but there is plenty of character, with art and kitsch adornments spread throughout. A charming little spot I enjoyed.
