CASA SIMBA is a cute and cozy condo situated in the area of Livramento, in Ponta Delgada. It is a 15 minute drive from the airport and a 10 minute drive to the city centre.
CASA SIMBA is in a gated complex with a pool, designated barbeque area and free parking. There is beautiful green space to enjoy, including native flowers and guava and araca trees.
CASA SIMBA has been newly painted and decorated. From the condo you have a beautiful view of the ocean from both the living room and the master bedroom.
CASA SIMBA has a kitchen complete with dishes and cutlery, toaster, coffee machine and tea kettle. A balcony off the kitchen looks over plush green fields and mountains in the distance. The living room has a good sized balcony where you can sit and enjoy your morning coffee and watch the waves. CASA SIMBA also features 2 smaller balconies (Romeo and Juliet) off both bedrooms.
Livramento is a quiet residential area. Two popular beaches, Praia do Populo and Praia das Milicias, and beautiful walking paths along the ocean, are yours to enjoy only a 2 minute walk away.
Several restaurants, ideal for coffee and a pastry or a nice lunch or dinner, are a 5 minute walk, including 2 right on the beach. Restaurants in the area have great ocean views.
There is also a large grocery store within walking distance or a quick 2 minute drive, offering many food choices, as well as wine and local beer. It also offers a bistro with a variety of goodies, including coffee and a traditional Portuguese 'pastel de nata' or a light meal.
A short distance from CASA SIMBA is the start of the 'Avenida', a scenic walk along the ocean that takes you to the historical city gates or the port. You can also drive along the Avenida, if preferred.
The Avenida is a great place to start discovering all that Ponta Delgada has to offer. If your walk is brisk, you may want to have a quick dip in the ‘pesqueira’ (area within the port across from outside restaurants). Shower facilities are available for 1 euro, and there are many great spots to grab a bite or a cold drink. Along the way, you will find tourist activities for all tastes, including whale watching, museums, incredible churches and many wonderful restaurants to choose from. Set your self free and take in all that Sao Miguel has to offer.
From CASA SIMBA many great tourist attractions can be easily accessed by car or bus. The bus stop for public transportation is around the corner from the complex.
