Short, 4 night break, booked through Thomson on-line, as a combination flight and hotel.
Booked hire car and Faro airport easy, and only 45 min drive to hotel.
October quiet, but busy at the weekend with Spanish weekenders. Services were beginning to be closed down (such as pool bar).
Hotel room (apartment) was excellent, staff really helpful and efficient and friendly. We were on half board and food was good with plenty of choice.
Location at this end of the season not over attractive, but clean if little grubby.
Recommend you hire a car - the drive into the hills, via the walled town of Nieble is excellent, passing Minas Rio Tinto and on to Zufre ('Eagle' village well worth a visit).
Didn't get to Seville, but it's within reach... we stayed around the pool....
