Unfortunately, in the event of a late arrival or early departure, you cannot check in directly at the airport and there is no hotel within walking distance of the terminal.
Hotels nearby
The best rated apartments near the airport are B&B Torre Pozzillo (approx. 2 km) or Villa MiraMar Exclusive Home (5 km). However, to get to both you need to take a taxi which will cost about 15 eur.
