Villaggio Turistico Internazionale La Plaja

If one needs to stay close to the airport at minimum cost this is the place. Only negative was the room smelled like cigarettes.

Having missed our flight home due to losing our passports, we tried to find some last minute accommodation near Catania Airport. Options were limited but this property was advertised as a bungalow with a private beach. Sounded nice for 1 night. We were horrified when we arrived. The bungalow was just a small square building with 1 room for beds, kitchen and a table, and a separate room for WC & shower. There was loud music blaring out from a nearby beach for most of the night plus the noise from overhead aircraft taking off (no chance of triple glazing here). In addition we found 2 cockroaches in the room. Suffice to say, we didn't get much sleep that night. The free breakfast was also poor. It was a buffet but not much choice on offer. The coffee was cheap & nasty and the food choices were of poor quality. I could understand if this was a budget resort, but the room cost an incredible 200 Euros (170 tax) for 1 night. To be fair, the private beach did look quite nice and I suspect this is why it was so expensive. But honestly, don't stay here if you value your sleep.

On the beach and near the airport with good staff. However the place is rather run down for the price and effectively without viewing windows in the rooms.

the property is in a very easy location to reach, staff are very friendly and helpful staff, our room was always very clean, and the beach is extremely well kept, parking was a big , overall very good value for money. only down side was the on site restaurant, which will not deter me from staying there again as I can easily eat somewhere else.

The only thing going for it is it is near the airport

I don’t believe there is any mention of being under the flight path of Catania airport you do have to be very tired to blank the noise .2) Finding the hotel is difficult it may be 1mile??? But this is as the crow flies all the locals say it is about 5km.3) The complex of chalets is known as signed on the street as La Cucaracha.We must have wasted 25 min trying to find the place

We booked a taxi the afternoon before to take us to the airport. When the taxi didn't arrive in the morning to take us to the airport, one of the employees personally drove us.
