The place was rundown but the view and the ocean was nice. They walked us to our room. They were friendly and nice. Very old but so funky cool. Needs updating but we wanted to be close to the airport.

The staff work very hard to keep Villagio clean. Adequate breakfast included. Staff are very helpful. The beach location superb. Lidl and eateries 5 mins away. Catania 10 mins, stunning city. Would go back. Yes property could be updated but the location and service made up for this...
This is very close to the airport which worked for our early flight. The resort is set up like a beach resort with one story buildings that span the property. There was a band playing the night we stayed that was very loud so I had to wear ear buds to sleep. The rooms seem outdated but were spacious and were good enough for what I needed. The check in process was fast and they were friendly and set up a cab for us for 4 am in the morning. Overall I’m happy with what we got for the price we paid.
Okay, I know everyone says this, but it is RIGHT by the airport and sooo loud. Also, they do play loud music on the beach till 1 am. The beds are HORRIBLY uncomfortable. The pillow is even worse. We had about half a roll of cheap toilet paper which was all used before we even went to sleep. No extra. Office closed. Yuck! The towel bars are propped on the wall, broken.It is soo dirty because it is on the beach. Nice sand beach though. We ate dinner at the restaurant and it was very good. The beach is extremely dirty, litter everywhere. This is the definition of a no frills place to sleep. Way overpriced for what it was. The front desk lady is nice and helpful though.
Didnt stay long enough to enjoy all the amenities as I had an early flight to catch. But my brief moment at the property was great.

I don’t recommend this hotel. First of all it is literally located near the airport runway so you hear planes taking off all day/night long. The rooms are old. Our toilet didn’t work, our shower and bidet didn’t drain well. Beds are old and worn. Skip this one
The stay at this place was fine, with a great location right on the beach and only about a 15-minute drive from CTA airport. There were minor issues with insects. Breakfast was simple, consisting mainly of bread, butter, and coffee. Overall, it is value for money and worth considering for a short stay.
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.
Worse place I’ve ever stayed. There is nothing around the area to do, not even a supermarket. The whole place is pretty much a construction sight. Room didn’t even have any windows and was cold, dirty and worn down.
Bugs in the sheets on the bed. Bugs in the bathroom sink. Flushing the toilet was followed by a very loud noise I think was a pump to refill toilet reservoir. Wi-Fi virtually nonexistent. Noisy beach bar. Adjacent discotheque had very loud music until 2 a.m. Very limited hotel restaurant with inexperienced staff
So much potential here but what a disappointment. The property is run down, there was some sort of dance party with a stage that played base on Saturday night that didn't stop until 0530. No sleep. I booked on Expedia and the property details said laundry facility, there is none. The property price gouges on weekends but we didn't have a choice for the location. They open up their property to non guests to pay for the beach access which leads to over crowding and difficulty finding parking. The bathroom was so old and gross and room was dark and old. For the price you should go out of your way for a different location.
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.

El staff es atento y servicial, las cabañas son cómodas y limpias para una estancia de playa cerca al mar. Está muy cerca del aeropuerto de Catania, haciendo muy fácil el ingreso a el aeropuerto si tienes un vuelo de salida temprana.
