Absolutely amazing
By Alison Fowler on 01-Aug-2026Drumlin Villa is the best villa we have stayed in over the past 14 years. Naula the owner was helpful from the first contact to the last and the whole process was easy and very professional. The villa is situated in a great location looking out to countryside and Spain. Castro Marim has a good supermarket with a bakery, meat and fish counter which is a quick drive away. Other well known supermarkets are within a ten to fifteen minutes drive away ( even over in Spain such as Mercadona) There are so many beaches and small resorts to visit that you will be spoiled for choice .The grandchildren loved a visit to the waterpark the other side of Faro. I loved the experience of going in a rollercoaster ride in my swimsuit! Now to the villa, it’s huge and each room is decorated and equipped to a very high standard. We were three generations and there was no worries about having your own space if wanted. The games room was used and enjoyed by ‘the boys ‘ For me it’s the things like having an oven that works well, a decent coffee machine, plenty of cutlery, plates, mugs, saucepans etc. First time we haven’t been out and bought a sharp knife or an extra chopping board ! Naula really has thought of everything you could possibly need or want. After a large shop there is even an extra fridge/ freezer in the games room.The pool was the largest we have had and a lot of time spent playing and chilling. The pool guys kept it sparkling and clean. The outside space and gardens are the same high standard as inside. A great drying area for your washing and swimsuits are at the side of the villa. Only clean clothes to take home . Kerry met us at the villa and was very informative about the villa showing us around and where the safe was. The villa was spotless and felt like home straight away. Our three weeks flew by and we didn’t want to leave which is a good sign of an amazing time Thank you

Luxury without the price tag
By Michael Lloyd on 15-Sep-2025We stayed at Drumlin Villa from 15th–25th September and had the most wonderful experience. The whole process was so simple to book, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. The villa itself is pure luxury – spacious, beautifully maintained, and equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing holiday. One of the highlights was the shopping package offered on arrival. It was brilliantly put together, stocked with plenty of essentials as well as some alcohol, which was a real bonus. As we had a late arrival, it meant we had everything we needed from the moment we walked through the door without having to worry about rushing to the shops. The pool and outdoor space were perfect for lazy days, and the location made it easy to explore the nearby towns and beaches. It truly felt like a home away from home, but with all the added touches of a high-end stay. We’d highly recommend Drumlin Villa to anyone looking for a luxurious and stress-free getaway in the Algarve, and we’re already looking forward to coming back!

Thank you Mike for your lovely reviews. We pride ourselves on the Villa and try and ensure that it gives the home from home feeling. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future
A truly impressive villa with huge amounts of space inside and out
By Jon on 01-Sep-2025The villa is situated in a quite complex. it has huge amounts of space internally and the same again externally. essentially there is a wrap around balcony with loads of doors to access it in various places (and allows you to get air flow into the house). At the back of the house you have a large eating area and a big swimming pool - probably one of the biggest we have had in teh many villas we have stayed in over the years. the house itself feels like a home and is fully equipped with pretty much anything you would need.. The best compliment I could pay is that I spent most evenings watching teh sun set over the pool an d wondering how I could retire to a house like this! The owners and the local manager were super helpful and accommodating and quick to answer all question. 5* 10/10 from us

Thank you Jon for your lovely review. We are so happy that you enjoyed the Villa. Watching the sunset over the pool is a favourite of ours also.
Wonderful villa
By Manuel on 19-Jul-2025First, communication with Nuala was nice, very easy, clear, and quick. Arrival and departure were also simple and friendly with Kerry. Regarding the villa, we can only say that we had a wonderful vacation. Besides being beautiful, well-decorated, and comfortable, it has everything you need for a great vacation. The pool area is fantastic, and since it connects to the kitchen (which is very well equipped with everything you need), it's very functional for spending great moments of fun and socializing with family and friends. The beds are comfortable, there's AC throughout the house, the Wi-Fi works well, and the games room is a plus. It's close (by car) to the best beaches in Algarve, supermarkets, nice cities (Castro Marin, Vila Real de Stº António, Tavira), and Spain. In short, a wonderful villa with everything you need for a fantastic vacation.
