The House of Robert Graves

Building the home in 1932, Robert Graves and his then-girlfriend Laura Riding gave it the Catalan name Ca n'Alluny, which translates to "The Far House" in English. The charming village of Deià is a five-minute stroll away. It has the Mediterranean in view and is backed by mountains.

When feasible, the home has been brought back to Graves' original condition from when he and his new family visited Mallorca in 1946. A few modifications were required, such as wheelchair accessibility, a small display area, and air conditioning. Even yet, the light fixtures, wall decor, and furniture are all original. The atmosphere from when Graves was at the height of his creativity is still present in the home. The visitor gets the impression that Graves either went to the village for the post or disappeared for a quick swim at the beach.

An essential component of the trip is the garden. The main paths have been surfaced to make them accessible to those with disabilities, but otherwise, it's pretty much the same as when the house was built. The land's olive, carob, and almond trees were left standing. For his marmalade, Graves planted an orange grove, a tangerine grove, some lemon plants, local fruit trees, and bitter orange trees. He retained the garden's sunny end as a Jardin potager. It is one of the most beautiful historical sites in Majorca
