To find this little cafe, I will give you an enigma to work on: SATOR AREPO TENET OPERA ROTAS
It's an orange dot, it shows up well on GM.

Hint: First you need to find out what the enigma is about. Then, there is one location that is mentioned very often related to the enigma. And for the country, you can understand that from the first picture.

Well, thanks, and of course the SATOR square is very well-known (I learned about it as a little kid at school and identified it instantly as have others, I'm sure) and yes there is a location associated with it, but when I went there the first time I saw only two orange dots and neither was the right place. I've just checked again. No more orange dots have appeared.

Second hint: Johnluke mentioned the SATOR square, and that's correct. Related to that puzzle, there a few locations that are often mentioned as a great example of villages with an intact SATOR square. If you look closely at the picture, there is something that will tell you in what country we are. After that it should be very easy to find the location.
Just another thing. When searching for the location on Google Maps, it is not very accurately placed. You will need to find the very specific name of the village where the SATOR square is to find the cafe.

Thanks for the clue. Now it was fairly easy to find:

Completely missed it the first time I looked, because of the magic square clue. I thought it had to be in Italy.

gosh, i've been there the very first day but i did not see the orange dot 'cause i've not been close enough (one of the (still) open problems @ the nGM) in the canton of geneva, ndrqu, i can bring you to 10, 20 such terraces with the same kind (almost) of buildings... i still wonder about the detail telling us about the country... EDIT: ok, seen it, i've been so blind!
