Hi cjoco and welcome to FT,

Personally, as a local, I would suggest you use a taxi which would be much cheaper than a private transfer. Private transfers are generally tourist scams and definitely not worth it.
Also, do not accept any transportation offers within the terminal ( by individuals or tour agency offices ) and go to the official taxi rank located outside the terminal which is also signposted.

A local taxi would cost €15-40 ( depending on where your hotel is ), while a transfer would cost more than €50 and some have been reported that some companies quote more than €150 for a transfer.
