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

We liked the house , which was well equipped, living up to advertisement!

The owner and property manager are very courteous and responsive. The check in process was quick and easy. We were warmly greeted by the manager and given an overview of the property. The owner left a complete set of instructions and recommendations, the blue notebook that proved quite valuable. The location was not ideal for our small group as it is too remote for walking anywhere such as a restaurant or grocery store. It is a five minute drive to Praia Verde which has miles of beautiful beach to walk and some good restaurants too. The interior is quite spacious and the kitchen well equipped. The living room is very large and could use either more furniture or for the existing to be re arranged. There were just a couple of small glitches during our stay that were dealt with quite quickly. So great ownership and management!

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 :-)

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 photos don't do this place justice, it is a beautiful home! It has all the amenities and also an a/c unit in every room! The pool and view were also spectacular. The owner is very responsive to questions, overall our stay was perfect! We would rent again!

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.

Thanks for the good time!

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.

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.

Excellent place to visit. Kerry was wonderful, met us at the Villa and gave us all the information that we needed. Villa is perfect for family holidays. Beach within easy access. We spent most days just chilling and having a BBQ. The time just went by far too quickly though. Would definitely recommend.
