Girl has an untidy place that's idyllic (7-2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shangri-la

'that's idyllic' is the definition.
(I know that Shangri-La is idyllic)

'girl has an untidy' is the wordplay.
'untidy' is an anagram indicator.
'girl'+'has'+'an'='girlhasan'
'girlhasan' anagrammed gives 'SHANGRI-LA'.

'place' is the link.

(Other definitions for shangri-la that I've seen before include "Earthly paradise (from Hilton's "Lost Horizon")" , "Fictional paradise on earth" , "Fictional Tibetan paradise from novel 'Lost Horizon'" , "Imaginary earthly paradise" , "Milk" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
