DL 145/2023 requires all tourist rentals to be equipped with a carbon monoxide detector, a combustible gas detector, and a 6 kg portable fire extinguisher. Complying avoids penalties, protects guests, and keeps the National Identification Code active.
Why comply immediately
Bringing your Salento villa up to code means protecting people, property, and online visibility. Fire Department interventions for gas leaks or domestic fires exceed a thousand cases per year, and starting in 2025, Airbnb will limit listings without certified devices. A kit prevents hefty fines, strengthens guest trust, and safeguards your income stream during peak season.

DL 145/2023 in 3 points
Before upgrading your property, it's useful to understand exactly what the new decree requires. Here are the three key ways in which DL 145/2023 changes the safety regulations for short-term rentals.
- Universal requirement: fire extinguisher + two detectors for each rental unit, regardless of square footage.
- Sanzioni: 600–6.000 € e sospensione del CIN se mancano i dispositivi.
- Maintenance: fire extinguisher inspection every two years, sensors replaced or battery changed at the end of their cycle.
Proper installation
A proper installation starts with the calculation of square meters: a 6 kg fire extinguisher covers up to 100 m² of surface area; in multi-level villas, one device per floor is required, positioned along the main escape route. The carbon monoxide detector must be mounted on the ceiling or 15 cm below it, no more than 1.5 m from boilers, fireplaces, or stoves. The gas sensor must be fixed 30 cm from the ceiling if the system uses methane, or 30 cm from the floor if LPG is used, always near the cooktops. Finally, the escape route floor plan with fire safety symbols must be displayed visibly at the entrance.

FAQ
Is it worth buying multiple kits in bulk?
Yes. Salento Prime offers quantity discounts and organizes a single inspection, reducing installation time and costs.
Is the kit mandatory even for 35 m² studios?
Absolutely yes: the regulation does not set minimum surface thresholds.
Do I need to notify the Municipality of the installation?
No need. Keep the report and invoice; they will only be required in case of inspection.
What to do if the sensor signals low battery?
Replace the battery or the entire device. Salento Prime can intervene within 24 hours to avoid listing interruptions.
Is the Holiday Home Fire Safety Kit enough for villas with over 25 beds?
No. Larger properties require a fire safety SCIA, multiple extinguishers, and emergency lights. We offer dedicated consulting.
