About this property

Family Friendly Villa with private pool, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, 11942/AL

Drumlin Villa is a stunning villa with it's own private pool situated on a quiet cul-de-sac in the fabulous area of Quinta do Sobral. The villa is located on a small hill, hence the name Drumlin, from the Irish word droimnin or "little ridge". The Villa is very spacious with lots of natural light. The interior is fitted to a very high standard with modern decor throughout.

The Villa is located an easy 45 minute Motorway drive from Faro Airport and is only 10 minutes to the Spanish border.

The villa offers the perfect setting for exploring the Eastern Algarve. Within a 15 minute drive there are 6 golf courses to choose from including the prestigious course of Monte Rei Golf designed by Jack Nicklaus.

Your closest town is Castro Marim, a typically Portuguese town with a lovely castle and quaint shops. The nearest beach, (Praia Verde) is 3km away from the Villa

The towns of Tavira and Vila Real de Santo Antonio are within easy reach and are great for an evening stroll and a leisurely drink at one of the many street cafés.

For your reassurance Drumlin Villa has an "Alojamento Local" (letting licence) and is registered with the Portuguese authorities to ensure that specific safety standards and regulations are met. It is a legal requirement that the number (11942/AL) be displayed in the property description.

Lovely stay in a wonderful villa managed by great hosts
One of the best things about this villa is how many things are available for you to use. For example, there is a washing machine, pool table, table football, swimming pool etc, but it's the little things that make the difference, like all the floating toys for the pool, the sun umbrella for the beach, the numerous pots, pans, cutlery and crockery, as well as all the food bits that people leave behind, like salt, cooking oil, flour, pasta etc. These small things made a huge difference! Communication before and during our stay was excellent, with Nuala and Kerry all very quick to respond and very helpful in doing so. This was a truly lovely villa and I'm very glad we picked it! I will point out a few very small details that I feel could be worked on, but I emphasise that these are minor - we had a very nice stay! 1) The large sail shade in the back garden flaps around a lot in the wind and makes quite a lot of noise. If you're sleeping in the back room, it will keep waking you up. We asked to have it taken down and the next morning it was gone. 2) The shower downstairs and the large shower upstairs had a tendency to overflow if you put the water on maximum. There seems to be a slow drainage issue. We just reduced the power or used the other shower upstairs, but it would be good to get the drains cleared. 3) You need to be careful not to leave any small bits of food on the floor in the kitchen or patio outside, or ants will come in force to get it. Maybe there could be some effort put in to eradicate them? 4) Downstairs can feel and smell a little damp sometimes, because of the lack of natural light I guess. Not much you can do about this though? Maybe it just needs regular airing. That's it! Thank you Nuala :-)

Great Villa!
We have just returned home from our 2 week stay at Drumlin Villa. It had everything! The location was in a private residential area, well respected by all and close to Castro Marim. The villa was huge and had everything from pots & pans to hot tub, pool table, table football, books , DVD's to an enormous pool for private bathing. The owner Nuala ensured everything was right for us and kept in contact from the booking until departure. Kerry & Ian managed the day to day aspects and greeted us with a pre-organised welcome pack. Definitely be back!

The villa was amazing !!!!
We booked the holiday to spend some quality family time. The villa gave us the space to come together and also room for us all to have our own time out. I would highly recommend.

Fantastic villa, perfectly placed for exploring
We had a lovely stay at Drumlin Villa. Everything worked really well, from correspondence with Nuala the owner, through booking and paying, to meeting the key holder Kerry when we arrived. The villa was clean and welcoming, the pool is a great size and was nice at night when it lights up. We stayed with just our two children (8 & 11) and they absolutely loved swimming in the pool. The pool table downstairs was also a nice addition to an already great place. I can envisage staying here with more of the family would be brilliant. In terms of location, the local towns are wonderful and there is plenty to do and see. It is perfectly suited to a quiet, exploring, beach, relaxing holiday whilst still being near enough for a day trip across to Seville in Spain if that takes your fancy. Definitely would recommend this villa to friends and family.

Couldn't have picked a better place!
We loved the Villa especially the pool and Hot tub. The Villa is very spacious and has everything you need. The Pool table and Dart Board in the garage are great when you need a break from the heat. Plus the DVDs and books kept everyone entertained. Within our group of 3 generations, we had our grandchildren ranging in age from 6 to 19. We can't believe how well they all got on. We credit it to the environment we were in. We have really enjoyed our stay at Drumlin Villa, its a lovely property with great facilities set in a lovely part of Portugal. We hope to return one day.

About the host

Hosted by Nuala

Host profile image
We fell in love with the Eastern Algarve after our first visit here and we then made it our aim to buy our own villa. We are delighted to have done so in January 2015. It is now being let and we have made every effort to ensure that the property is of the highest standard for letting.
We know how nice it is to arrive at a villa and think the photographs didn't do it justice. Hopefully, you will come to our villa and feel the same.

Why they chose this property

We looked at many properties but when we saw Drumlin Villa, we knew it was the one for us. The amount of space and the lovely setting appealed to us.
We have two children and a large family, so the size of the villa was important, as was the large outdoor space and swimming pool.
The villa is in a very peaceful area but supermarkets and restaurants are easily accessible, so we have the best of both worlds. We hope you enjoy it.

What makes this property unique

Drumlin Villa is ideally located only 50 minutes from Faro airport. It’s very quiet with really nice views over the nature reserve.
It’s also only a few minutes drive to the great beach at Praia Verde. You can rent a bed and umbrella from the restaurant Pezinhos N’Areia – the restaurant has lovely views over the beach.
The Restuarante Panaramico next door has excellent reviews and is a sister restaurant of O Infante.
