Not Llanfairfechan either I'm afraid Hugo!

As a clue it isn't on the coast!

                    Is it the Llanrwst Institute on Denbigh Road, Llanrwst?

Well done Gwynant  $good$

Hopefully DaveR knows a bit more but I think it was built as the Memorial Institute so presumably built after WW1?

I knew this one as well DaveR but won't spoil the guessing. A fine building for £35K. What put you off?
It was very run down at the time, lot of the carved stonework etc needed replacing. I didn't have the cash to both buy and renovate it, sadly.

It's an interesting building but I don't know a lot about it. It was subdivided into flats at some point and was pretty tatty when I looked at it.

In which Hotel and City will you find all rooms have these fabulous tiled bedheads?

Looks like the Hotel Nova Sintra in Sintra, Portugal to me.

DaveR, as your guess is in Portugal and it's also Yorkie, you are probably correct.

But how on earth did you manage to guess that?

Pity that the answer is incorrect!   Certainly in Portugal but much further South than Sintra.   ZXZ

Also much bigger establishment with almost 200 rooms.

Hugo - you've done it again!   &well& Absolutely 100% correct.  We have just returned from our early Spring holiday at this great Aparthotel.

I think the one found by DaveR must have been an extra that maybe fell off the back of the lorry delivering to the Brisa Sol.    :D

Another Portugal one, just for fun.  Where is this fishing boat moored?

Hmmmm! No answer yet, so maybe a clue is needed. 
OK, so the clue is simply, that there is no better clue than that which already exists.   Hope that floats your boat!

Bom Sucesso, would that be moored in Lisbon?
