Book this Villa by contacting the owner directly to confirm
price, property details and availability.
Booking directly with the owner means you pay the owners price with no added booking fees or
extra charges.
Top class communication from the owner Nuala during the booking stages. Have stayed at this villa previously, renovations made since the last stay that improve the kitchen / dining area greatly. Spacious villa, private pool, BBQ, well equipped kitchen and AC in all rooms. We had a hired car but a 5min taxi or Uber will get you to any of the locals towns and villages. Recommend this Villa to others and we will return again.

Thank you Emmett. We're so glad you liked the renovations. It was lovely to have you back to stay and hopefully will see you again in the future. Nuala
Loved the house, loved the location, very close to the Spanish border but hardly bothered to cross over, Castro Marim is nearest town with a few pubs and restaurants to call to and Tavira is only 15-20 away but Vila Real de Santo Antonio is only less than 10 minutes away and is a pure gem. The house is spotless and really comfortable and we are going back again next year, with 2 quite fussy wives that is compliment enough and looking forward to going back to the house and the area. Also the Eastern Algarve is a lot better value for eating out than further west so a big plus too!!

Thank you Philip for you lovely comments. We love Vila Real also. It is a real treasure. We look forward to welcoming you back next year. Nuala
We had the most wonderful holiday at Drumlin villa. We were two families and the villa was absolutely perfect for us all. Its really well laid out with lots of space and extremely well equipped - everything has been thought of including brilliant instructions and a lovely in person welcome on arrival. The pool was great too - fabulous that there is also a deep end for adults! Its location is ideal - a couple of minutes drive from Castro Marim village (which we adored by the way - its local and welcoming and a great spot for a morning coffee or an afternoon beer or two), ten minutes from Villa Real (which is a really lovely town, perfect for a bit of shopping, dinner etc) and only ten minutes from the coast too. Its also the perfect gateway to exploring further north and over to Spain for a day if you fancy it. ps. Ayamonte, the closest town on the Spanish side, is a lovely spot too. Booking with the owner, Nuala, was seamless and everything was really well communicated at all times. Thank you so much. We loved Portugal, loved the villa and will definitely be back.

Thank you Holly for your lovely comments. We are delilghted that you enjoyed your holidays so much. As we agree with your description of the local towns. All lovely. We hope we might welcome you back in the future. Nuala
Just spent a week in this lovely villa 8 of us,we especially liked the layout with 2 bedrooms and a bathroom downstairs ideal for a teenager and parents.The new layout not long finished opened out the living area and table area and made it very spacious.We liked the doors out to small areas sunny in the morning and ideal for breakfast.The pool was cleaned on 2nd day and was spotless,4 of us braved the cool pool .We hired 2 cars from the airport which were essential,to get around but we used local taxis to go to restaurants and one day when the drivers were out birding the girls went to Vila Real.We got a couple of big shops and found Aldi or Continente to be good. We have been to Tavira and Olhao in the past and went back again.Four of us went to Seville and Nuala kindly sent us a route.Warning! Spanish motorways are shocking full of potholes We definitely recommend this Villa. Response from the owner: Hi Janet. Thank you for your lovely review. We are delighted that you enjoyed the Villa and the surrounding towns. Very brave to get in the pool this early in the year. I''m glad the directions were helpful getting to Seville. And yes the roads are terrible. Thank you for choosing Drumlin Villa for your holidays. Maybe you''ll visit again in the future. Nuala
My family and I had a great holiday and really enjoyed staying at this villa. It was a perfect size for us and so well equipped. The owner was very easy to deal with. The Villa was spotless and we would love to stay there again and will definitely recommend it to our family and friends.

Thank you Sarah for your lovely comments. We are so glad that you enjoyed the Villa and would love to welcome you and your family back. Nuala
The facilities and the level of the equipment is really excellent in this villa, far and away better than most. The design of the villa is really nice with good size bedrooms and lounge. What also works well is a lovely table and seating area outside of the kitchen and by the lovely swimming pool. There is an excellent team of people that oversee the villa and swimming pool locally if there is a problem. An ice maker fridge/freezer plumbed in adds a touch of luxury and convenience, a games room with what looks like a quality full size pool table (although I'm not an expert!) and the villa is in an elevated position so there are some views from the patios. Everything was excellent and very recommended. A good place for a family holiday.
