Located on the border between Rossio and Chiado, Pumpkin Patch is tucked away on a quiet street – but the Santa Justa lift and other central sights are all within walking distance, which makes it ideal for first-time visitors. This is a simple home, whose design is heavily focused on comfort, leaving the view as its greatest strength. From the cute balcony, you can admire the unobstructed view of the São Jorge hill and the famous eponymous castle on top.
