This is a medium-sized sight that can be very in 3 hours. There is a small meseum that is very nicely set out. You have the option of having an audio tour or just read off the leaflet. It is not a burial site of giants, but a giant communal burial site and village dating back to the bronze age!

Spoiler alert: do not expect to see large skeletal remains or hear about legends of super tall, powerful people who once roamed Sardinia. No no, this is the other kind of 'giant' ;-) Archeological sites are always interesting. This one dates back 3000 years to the Nuragic era. It's small. The outside area can be explored in about 15-20 mins. It's a nice distraction from the nearby beaches and restaurants. Worth a gander. Why the 3 stars? I have heard so much about Giants in Sardinia and was expecting to see something related to ... GIANTS. Turns out the reference to "Giants" has everything to do with the size of the burial site (i.e. a mass burial chamber) and nothing at all to do with super tall, powerful humans who once roamed the island and became extinct because of clashes with tiny humans and blah blah. Smells like a marketing gimmick (used all over the island, by the way). It certainly turned my head. Definitely a misnomer - that even they seem to be aware of, according to the brochure (see image). Better to just call it what it is - Nuragic burial site and village. I still would have gone. No need to lure people in with Lord of the Rings type phrasing. Even the locals aren't really sure what all the Giants talk is about - or maybe they're in on the laugh?

Really helpful staff. The site is really interesting and well preserved. The walk around the site isn't very long and the audioguide gives good amount of information without being long-winded.

We had a good time at this historic site near to Santa Teresa. The archeological site itself is fairly small but in good condition and a short audio guide is available in the main European languages. There is plenty of parking and this spot offers something a little different from the other local attractions. It took us around an hour and a half to visit the site and read through everything in the small museum. The staff invited us to join a cultural event in the evening which we enjoyed immensely.
