We stayed in this hotel last September, basic but great location, the weather was amazing. We have never gone away in October before, hence the OP.
I think thats a cracking deal. :beer:
I'd prepare for mixed weather and at very least bring something warmer / light coats for use in the evenings.0 -
Is that £75 each?
No - its £150 pp, but if we take out the car parking and get a lift, it works out at £138 per person. We bus it from Alicante airport, so the travel to destination charge is minimal.
I didn't think that was bad for warmer weather for 7 nights b&bLife isn't about waiting for the storm to passIt's about learning to dance in the rain0 -

The average maximum daytime temperature in Faro in October is a warm 23°C (73°F). The average night-time temperature is usually a comfortable 14°C (57°F).
There are usually 7 hours of bright sunshine each day and the average sea temperature in and around Faro in October is 20°C (68°F).
Definitely think about this next year. Thanks for the advice.Life isn't about waiting for the storm to passIt's about learning to dance in the rain0 -

It;s fine. I was on the Costa del Sol one November and experienced temperatures of 31 degrees Celsius in direct sunlight. Though temperatures this year seem somewhat lower. Hopefully you'll get decent weather.0 -

So the mankini just for special occasions then.0
