La Casa de Robert Graves

Even if you know little about Robert Graves, the author of I Claudius, you will find this house and museum worth a close look. The setting is gorgeous, the introductory video informative and well produced, and the house and garden full of memorabilia from the times Robert lived there. Robert's study and print room look as if he's just popped out to to the pretty village of Deia not far from Soller. Lovely gardens and views here too.

Lovely preserved history and very informative. The gardener was happy to give us some fruit fron the trees there.

Great to learn about the life of such a talented writer and his experiences of an avant garde and progressive lifestyle in the early 20th century when perspectives were not so liberated. His story and the exhibition of his things gave a very intimate and personal insight to his life in Deia which I found captivating.

Very interesting, quaint museum with a nice self guided tour. Nice gift shop too!

Bit of a pilgrimage this one. After reading The White Godess : An Encounter a few years ago, I fell in love with the place as described by the author. Happy to say its exactly what I had imagined. Beautiful house which Robert Graves actually designed himself. The house looks pretty much as he left it with his books and writing desk etc. Also lots of curated pieces from his life. Very evocative of a time which no longer exists.

We had a wonderful time exploring the home of Robert Graves but even more amazing was the conversation and fruits we shared with Michael who manages the property and tends to the garden. We'll be back!

A must see next time you are in Deia. Just as his grave in the local cemetery, Robert Graves' house was equally very humble, but it somehow manages to give a sence of grandeur and excellence to the villa and surrounding gardens. It's nestled by vinards, olive trees, and an array of colourful flowers and other Mediterranean shrubs. The view from the trreaces is breathtaking. As you wall through the door into the hall a coat hanger greets you with a series of straw hats and overalls the type the local used to wear. I wont say more, even though Im tempted. Its for you to see and enjoy as much as I am my family enjoyed being there and experiencing a multitude of sentimens which in a strange way makes you humble by the grandeur of such an outstanding man and prolific writer, poet and playwrite. I thoroughly recommend it.

Robert Graves' home for many years, now an excellent museum dedicated to the life of the great British poet.

There's not much to do in Deià but Robert Graves is one of my favorite authors so I decided to stop by. It wasn't really worth it. It starts with a video that makes Graves sound a bit arrogant. He mentions his wife was a feminist and that caused difficulty. The house is nice. And the exhibits inside are okay. But ultimately not worth visiting.
