Salvete!
I know that "ne" is used to ask questions, and that it is suffixed to the word about which the question is being asked.
Does the sentence "Luciine villa Romae est?" mean "Is LUCIUS'S villa (country house) in Rome?"
I mean, it seems to me that the questioner is asking specifically about Lucius's villa after having asked the whereabouts of, say, Marcus, Cynthia, Terentia, and other people's villas.
Otherwise, I think the word order should have been "Lucii villane Romae est?"
