History
Villa Agave is an exclusive three-bedroom luxury villa perched on a cliff above the Adriatic at Frana Supila 12 in Dubrovnik, part of Adriatic Luxury Hotels (and associated with the neighbouring Hotel Excelsior). The villa is a small historical and cultural monument: it was constructed on the foundations of a 16th-century (with roots given as 13th-century) chapel dedicated to St. Lazarus, two of whose original walls remain, and it later served as the summer house of the famed British archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans—celebrated for excavating the Palace of Knossos on Crete—during 1875-1882.
Adapted to a high level of contemporary luxury, the villa preserves Mediterranean interiors with rustic wooden floors and timber beams, and safeguards a valuable treasury of fine art and antiques. It offers five sea-view terraces, a cliffside beach and an outdoor pool overlooking Dubrovnik's Old Town and the island of Lokrum; film director Francis Ford Coppola has used it as his Dubrovnik hideaway.
