Supermarkets delivering to Villas

Hi
The whole family are over in Carvoeiro in September this year. We have hired a villa we have stayed at before and wondered if any of you knowledgable folk know if there is a super markets where you can order on line and then they deliver to this villa in Carvoeiro. It would just make packing so much easier no nappies, etc. Any advice would be helpful. Looking forward to a drier stay then we had at Easter this year. Also is there a childrens play area near to or on the Golf resort near Centannes Beach? Also (promise last one) how is the beach as I heard the sand steps etc got washed away hope O stop is OK.??
Thanks
Maggs

True well maybe just engage brain would help!
Any update on play areas for small children or the state of the beach?
Thanks

There is childrens pay ground by the church and another one on Praia Grande beach at ferragudo which would probably never be affected by the tides.
No big waves and very popular with families. Has at least 4 beach restaurants as well.

I asked my local Tesco Supermarket if they'd deliver to the villa and they refused point blank/ :roll:

You could have got Tesco to deliver permitted items to someone like Direct Transport, you then could have collected it from them in the Algarve
I am surprised a man of your calibre did not think of that :D :D :D
Worth every penny . :D :D

Tesco previously decided that they would no longer deliver to Direct, something to do with the fact that if they did online grocery shops, then the people walking into the shop in Andover wouldn't have the choice and the shelves may be empty !! Simple solution, order more stock tesco.
