A friend and I will be traveling from Porto to Douro Valley by train around May 7th 2025. We would like to stay on a winery estate taxi distance from Pinhao, for one or two nights but don't have a high end budget. Any recommendations?

I had a wonderful stay at Quinta do Tedo in 2023. Here is an excerpt from the trip report I did. The taxi situation in the area may have gotten better over the last two years and my visit was is mid-October so availability of taxi at the time might have been a factor. You will love the Douro and I encourage you to explore.
“ Quinta do Tedo, equidistant between Regua and Pinhao: the grounds at this Quinta are beautiful with many small alcoves to rest and relax in and to look at birds flitting among the lemon and olive trees.my room, Douro DOC, was very spacious and very nicely decorated and the bed very comfortable. The bathroom was huge with a large window that was screened in (not found in Europe very often) and overlooked the river and the Quinta swimming pool. I absolutely loved my accommodation here at the Quinta.
One thing that must be mentioned, if you do not have your own vehicle, getting around the area is difficult as there is no ride share companies operating here and only 4 taxi drivers that serve Regua and Pinhao.”
