This detached 4-bedroom villa in La Siesta covers 245 m2 of built space across two floors plus a roof terrace, and runs an 11-panel solar system that significantly reduces electricity costs.

Three further bedrooms sit on the first floor, including a principal room with its own walk-in wardrobe, a study with a kitchenette and seating area, and direct access to a west-facing balcony with an external staircase leading down to the pool terrace. A closed garage and off-street parking behind an electric gate complete the front of the property.La Siesta is a low-density residential neighbourhood in the western part of Torrevieja, roughly 5 km from the city centre along Avenida de las Habaneras. Restaurants and a supermarket are approximately 500 metres from the property. Playa de los Naufragos, one of Torrevieja's main sandy beaches, is under 3 km away, and Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC) is reachable in around 35 minutes by car. La Siesta's quiet streets and predominantly detached housing stock make it a popular choice for families and year-round residents.The property carries no community fees. The annual IBI property tax is stated as EUR 592 in the source listing, though buyers should verify the current figure with the local authority. The energy certificate is listed as exempt. Torrevieja is a tourist-registered area, and properties in La Siesta have historically attracted both short-term holiday lets and long-term rental interest.The rear garden contains a private heated swimming pool with a paved lounging terrace and a separate wood-fired sauna. The west-facing balcony on the first floor overlooks the pool area directly. Above the main structure, a private roof terrace finished with artificial grass provides additional outdoor space and houses the solar panel array.

About La Siesta, Torrevieja
Torrevieja is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca.
What purchase costs should I budget for beyond the asking price?
As a resale property in the Valencian Community, this purchase carries ITP transfer tax at 9% of the purchase price, rising to 11% on the entire value above EUR 1,000,000. Note that tax is charged on the higher of the price paid and the property's official reference value, so treat any figure based on the asking price as a minimum. On top of ITP, allow roughly EUR 600–1,200 for notary fees, EUR 400–800 for Land Registry fees, and around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT for independent legal advice. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet the Valencian Community's conditions (for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence) — worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer in Spain?
Spanish banks will typically lend non-residents up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation (whichever is lower), meaning you should plan for a deposit of 30–40% plus purchase costs. Current variable and fixed rates for non-resident mortgages generally range between 3.5% and 4.5% per annum, though the rate you are offered will depend on your financial profile and the lender. We can refer you to an independent mortgage broker who specialises in Spanish finance for international buyers.
What are the ongoing running costs for this villa?
The annual IBI property tax is quoted at EUR 592 in the listing data — please verify the current figure with Torrevieja Town Hall before exchange. There are no community fees. The 11-panel solar system on the roof reduces electricity costs materially, though the precise saving will depend on consumption. Refuse collection (basura) charges are set by the local authority and are not confirmed in the listing data; the agent can provide guidance.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings by appointment, during which an agent walks through the property in real time while you join by video call and ask questions. This is available for both this villa and the outdoor areas including the pool terrace, sauna, roof terrace, and garage. Contact us to arrange a time that suits you.
Is this property suitable for holiday letting?
Torrevieja is an established tourist destination and properties in La Siesta have been used for both short-term holiday lets and long-term rentals. A four-bedroom villa with a private heated pool, sauna, and roof terrace is well positioned for the rental market. You will need a valid tourist rental licence from the Valencian Community before advertising for short lets; the agent can advise on the application process. We do not quote yield percentages as these depend on occupancy, management costs, and seasonal demand.
What does the purchase process look like for a buyer new to Spain?
The first practical step is obtaining a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which is required to sign any legal documents or open a Spanish bank account. Once you have agreed terms, the process typically moves to a reservation contract and payment of a holding deposit, followed by a private purchase contract (arras) under which both parties commit to the transaction under agreed conditions. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, who registers the transfer with the Land Registry. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to conduct due diligence and guide you through each stage.
