The museum is totally overpriced: for 4.50€ you see two tiny rooms with a few shivers and several infoplates in Italian, French in English. The highlight is 3D-glasses with a VR-tour which lasts a couple of minutes. There is also a movie, but only in Italian without subtitles. Definitely not worth it. The archeological site is not really informative and not completely excavated yet. 3€. We visited Serra Orrios before and it was much more impressive. The site itself, its condition and a really good excursion costed less then just the entrance here.

The ruins are fine, although not wonderful. The entrance fee is high, which is justified to finance the site.

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.
