June 2010 (By Jonathan Bastable)

“Symphony in stone”

The June edition of Condé Nast Traveller includes a five page story about Dubrovnik and recommends the Hotel Excelsior, Hotel Bellevue, Villa Agave and the restaurant Nautika. The article was written by the eminent British journalist Jonathan Bastable who stayed in Dubrovnik in September 2009.

„Few cities in the world make such a memorable first impression, and as soon as you have caught a glimpse of Dubrovnik, you want to get up close and go inside.“

„Dubrovnik is once again a chic destination and a celebrity magnet. Oprah Winfrey has been house-hunting on Stradun, the main street; Kevin Spacey recently celebrated his 50th birthday at Villa Agave, the extremely classy private annexe of the Hotel Excelsior; and film stars and musicians of all stripes can be spotted dining on the terrace at Nautika – for food and location combined, one of the finest restaurants in Europe. In 2008. Nautika was voted the sixth most romantic restaurant in the world. The food and the service are fabolous, and both terraces are wonderful places to sit in the cool of the evening. It is worth breaking the bank for.“
