Hah, tricky - it is in fact the villa of Almenara-Puras, near Valladolid, Spain! It's actually situated between the villages of Almenara-de-Adaja and Puras, but a bit closer to Almenara...
The site is now the
MUSEO DE LAS VILLAS ROMANAS, and is very well presented, with an extensive excavation:

And this splendid, if rather generic, reconstruction villa:

Anyway, on balance I think Matt had the name closer (it's usually abbreviated to Villa Almenara, but not to Puras) - plus it actually
is a woman reclining, now I look more closely... :oops:
So - I reckon Matt gets it, Robert Cherry a close second...
Edit - although I'm not sure, now I think about it - anyone care to arbitrate? :???:
