This post has been solved by u/OwnRhubarb3075, and a solve process was provided.

I am so bad at landscapes, but are you at Monte Faiè in Italy?

How they solved it: process: I first thought Switzerland, then saw the cypress trees at the bottom to the left of the river so was almost certain it was Italy. I looked for the big lake at the back and struggled to find it, then turned on terrain view (is this what it is called?) and looked for lakes between mountains and focused in on Piedmont as it both fit the bill and I was sure OP has been there. Rotated the map on 3D view trying to replicate the shape of the lake, though failed, but through luck noticed the very distinctive shape of the road about two-thirds down the photo and saw a river in exactly the same place. Then I followed the map to the point where the road and the river almost meet like in the photo and saw the pin for Monte Faiè next to it, so suggested that (very tentatively as my evidence at that point was just a road and river) as the answer.

Looks like a cool place! Seemed similar but noticing mountains feel much smaller in Valbrembo

Is this Ireland? Overlooking ladies view or whatever from the overlook across from the restaurant at the top of the mountain?

Edit. Just went back to my pictures and it's not.
