Villa AgaveCroatia, Dalmatian Coast, Dubrovnik

Villa Agave is, at the same time, a small historical and cultural monument and a valuable gallery of fine art and antiques. The core of the villa is the old chapel of St. Lazarus (13th century), while the remaining part, according to the Conservation Department, dates back from the 17th and 18th century. The Agave residence once belonged to the famous English archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans from 1875 to 1882, famous for discovering the remains of an ancient civilization on the island of Crete. The villa was completely destroyed in World War II. It was abandoned and roofless until 1973 when a famous Croatian painter Milovan Stanic – the author of the fresco still found on the wall in the living room of the villa restored it. Today, this luxury villa is an attractive destination visited by many celebrities, such as Oscar-winner Kevin Spacey, who was also one of its first guests.

On the ground floor of Villa Agave, there is a large living room with a fireplace and dining area, equipped with a dining table for 8 people inside a very pleasant interior. On this floor, there are also 2 luxury bedrooms with double beds and ensuite bathrooms. The rooms feature elegant and subtle decor, which reveals the spirit and the value of antiquity, as well as the perfect adaptation to modern design. On the same floor, just a few steps below, there is an especially interesting room for meditation.

On the first floor of Villa Agave, reachable by open wooden stairs, there is a master bedroom, equally beautiful and elegantly furnished as the rest of the house. The room has 2 ensuite bathrooms, one with a bathtub and one with a shower. On this floor, there is also a small study room, with access to a beautiful terrace.
