Francis Ford Coppola: "Next Time I Will Visit Villa Agave With My Family"
"In the very beginning of my career I was invited to Dubrovnik in order to participate in the shooting of the film 'Operation: Titian'. I spent three months in Dubrovnik, namely in the Excelsior Hotel, in a room which was then the only one with a balcony and a view of the Island of Lokrum and Dubrovnik. I also devoted the time that I spent there to writing the scenario for the film 'The Rain People'." Since his first visit to Dubrovnik, Coppola's career has been full of great successes, and today, 50 years later, he wanted to return to the same place for the same reasons. "I wanted to return to Dubrovnik, to the same hotel, in order to find inspiration for writing again. This time, however, in an even more luxurious environment. Here, at the Villa Agave, I have found an ideal place for writing. I have the peace that I need and an inspiring atmosphere. From the terrace of the Villa Agave is the most beautiful view of Dubrovnik and the Island of Lokrum."
