Place for women galore is fantastic! (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

seraglio

'place for women' is the definition.

'galore is fantastic' is the wordplay.
'fantastic' indicates anagramming the letters.
'galore'+'is'='galoreis'
'galoreis' with letters rearranged gives 'SERAGLIO'.

(Other definitions for seraglio that I've seen before include "Women's apartments in a Muslim palace" , "A pound of sultanas" , "Where there's lots of the other" , "Gaolers I found in Turkish women's quarters" , "I've made a mistake!" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
