You could get a camper van and go along the Atlantic coast above Sagres. Some nice surf vibe quiet towns and beaches. It's a protected area. Beautiful wild beaches and nice countryside.
Algarve area would be hell at that time of year. Too many tourists of a certain type. And isn't nice anyway. Lagos would be the furthest west you'd want to go from Sagres.
If it's your first time to Portugal you'll want to at least see Lisbon and Porto.
The small towns and villages might not offer enough to keep you interested. Nazare is good, some of the worlds biggest waves, but too touristy and lacking a vibe. Aveiro is small and could be ok, but a week would be enough. There's a Airbnb in an old film directors house that could work for you as place to work remotely too.
Coimbra is small, but pretty old university town with really old library. Bit touristy the library. Inland so no beaches. Along the river that passes the city it's lovely and has a Paris feel.
Lisbon and Porto have plenty of coworking spaces. Also Lisbon has some excellent libraries that have high speed wifi, power sockets and good desks. Safe too. And free. One has a lovely old room with a city/river view. Lisbon also has some beaches within an hour and enough cultural things to keep you busy. Plenty of meetups, and a digital nomad meetup. Everyone speaks English. Watch out for burglars.

- I loved the Algarve (June). It's worth going there just to hike the sandstone cliffs.allthethings
