This is not part of his house, it is the gift shop building, but I believe this is one of his poems. It is about wine (title translation: Ode to Wine).
Pablo Neruda, the famous Chilean Poet, had three houses in Chile. One in Santiago, one in (I forget where, somewhere in the south I think), and one in Isla Negra (it's not actually in island, just a town an hour away from Valparaiso). When he was on his deathbed, he was in his house in Isla Negra. He was also buried at this house. For good reason, this place was breath taking. The view from his room was a view of the ocean. We were not allowed to take pictures inside the house, so these are all pics outside of his house.
The entrance to his house (and our tour guide).
His house is long and thin (like Chile). This is a picture of the southern most part of his house.
His and his 3rd wife's grave (which over look the ocean).
The rest are pics of the gorgeous view (at varying times of day, evening and sunset):
