Thank you Dushan. It took a lot of assistance to get there!

Can't remember if we have had a garden picture before, so here is one. Quite famous.

You got it in one! It is indeed the Villa d'Este at Tivoli just outside Rome. Pretty impressive too!

All yours FD2.

Thanks Smeagol. I suspect this one, on the theme of painted houses, will also go quickly.

No - right sea - an island that had a famous 'visitor' for a short while. Just the name of the island will do.
