Monchique,
I certainly agree that the Portalegre district in the Upper Alentejo has some fantastic gems, like Tomba Lobos and also in the same historic quarter, Solar do Forçado, owner by a former bull wrestler and serving great grilled meats (skewers, including touro) in a charmingly rustic atmosphere with of course, bullfight posters and memorabilia. It’s a Bib Gourmand.
This area produces excellent wines.
I haven’t stayed at the Vila Gale Alter Real, but I have it on my list for our next Alentejo trip.
