Description
Built in 1988, this south-facing villa in La Siesta, Torrevieja covers 97m2 of internal space across a ground-floor layout with 1 bedroom and 2 full bathrooms. The south orientation means the property receives direct sunlight throughout the day. At EUR 199,000, the price per m2 works out at approximately EUR 2,051, which is competitive for a freehold villa in this part of Torrevieja.La Siesta is a well-established residential area roughly 3km from Torrevieja's town centre, popular with both Spanish residents and long-term international buyers. The neighbourhood has its own local shops, bars, and small supermarkets within comfortable walking distance, and the wider Torrevieja road network connects easily to the CV-905 and the N-332 coastal road. Alicante-Elche Airport is approximately 35 minutes by car, making La Siesta practical for those travelling regularly.The property carries an energy rating of G, which is typical for Spanish homes built in the late 1980s and flags scope for improvement through insulation or heating upgrades. There are no recorded community fees, which reduces the annual running cost considerably compared with apartment ownership in the same area. IBI figures are not currently available and should be confirmed with the local Ayuntamiento of Torrevieja before exchange. Torrevieja is classified as a tourist area, and short-term rental licences are available in certain zones of La Siesta, making the property worth considering as an income-generating asset.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the EUR 199,000 asking price?
As a resale property in the Valencia Community (Alicante province), you pay ITP transfer tax at 10% of the purchase price, which is EUR 19,900. Add notary fees of approximately EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of approximately EUR 400–800, and legal fees of around 1% plus VAT (roughly EUR 2,390 including VAT). Total additional costs are typically EUR 23,000–25,000, so budget around EUR 222,000–224,000 in total.
Can I get a mortgage on this property as a non-resident?
Spanish banks will generally lend non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation, whichever is lower. On EUR 199,000 that means a deposit of roughly EUR 60,000–80,000. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish lenders sit broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range. We can refer you to a broker who works with non-resident buyers if needed.
What are the annual running costs?
There are no community fees recorded for this villa, which is a meaningful saving versus apartment ownership. The IBI (council tax) figure is not currently available and must be confirmed with Torrevieja's Ayuntamiento before completion. You should also factor in water, electricity, and home insurance, which together typically run EUR 1,500–2,500 per year for a property of this size.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who cannot travel immediately. We can walk through the property in real time, answer questions on the spot, and follow up with additional photos or measurements. An in-person viewing is still recommended before exchanging contracts.
Is this villa suitable as a rental investment?
Torrevieja is a designated tourist area, and parts of La Siesta are eligible for short-term rental licences (VUT). Demand for summer rentals in Torrevieja is consistent given the town's beaches and salt lakes. We recommend checking the current licence availability for this specific address with a local solicitor, as availability varies by street and cadastral zone.
What are the main steps in the Spanish purchase process?
First, obtain an NIE number (Spanish tax identification), which can be arranged through a solicitor or at the Spanish consulate in your home country. Once you agree a price, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit (typically EUR 3,000–6,000) is paid. This is followed by the arras contract, where 10% of the purchase price is exchanged and the sale is legally binding. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, at which point the balance is paid and keys are handed over. The process typically takes 6–12 weeks from reservation to completion.
