The full story
The poet and novelist Robert Graves built Ca n’Alluny in Deià in the 1930s and returned after the Second World War to work there for decades. Today, Robert Graves House is best understood through his study, personal library and the quiet olive-grove setting. The wider Robert Graves House context is the writer’s carefully preserved Deià home, garden and working rooms. Keep the visit connected to nearby towns, roads and landscapes. The site makes more sense as one part of its region than as a detached destination. Before leaving, identify the feature that best expresses that relationship, whether a view, material or route. It will provide a useful point of comparison for the rest of the day. Before leaving Robert Graves House, set its arrival image—his study—against its closing image: the writer’s carefully preserved Deià home.
