While Francisco Simonassi offers a unique blend of coastal living and local amenities, the neighbourhoods of Praia da Costa and Itapoã in Vila Velha provide similar premium experiences with their own distinct advantages.
Praia da Costa is an excellent choice for couples looking for a sophisticated beach holiday. This area is known for its beautiful coastline, with a wide promenade superb for leisurely strolls or cycling. You'll find a good selection of upscale restaurants, boutique shops, and cafes along its main avenues, like Avenida Antônio Gil Veloso. The neighbourhood also offers easy access to Morro do Moreno, providing stunning panoramic views.
Itapoã, situated just south of Praia da Costa, is particularly well-suited for families. It boasts a more relaxed, residential feel while still offering fantastic beach access. The beachfront here is generally less crowded, and there are several parks and playgrounds dotted throughout the neighbourhood, making it ideal for those travelling with children.
