Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Claude MVence, France1,000 contributionsWe visited this site as part of a bicycle tour. This is worth a stop. The site is a stunning example of the nuragic age, even if many questions are still unanswered.
Our guide did a good job in explaining construction techniques, the purpose of the site .
This is a mysterious place but worth a visit.Written 8 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The highlight is the statue of Mary holding baby Jesus behind the altar. The story behind the statue is as follows. In 1370, here was a terrible storm at sea and the captain feared the boat would sink. So the crew threw the cargo overboard. When the last large crate was thrown overboard, the storm stopped. The crate floated to Cagliari and rested on its shores. No one could open the crate, and a boy went to get the friar. The friars were able to carry the crate to the church and were able to open it. When they opened it, they saw the statue of Mary holding baby Jesus and in her right hand was a lighted candle. The statue behind the altar is that same statue. In the back of the church, you can see the crate on display. Regardless of your belief in this story, the Bascilica is well worth visiting as it is beautiful. Be sure to walk to the back where you will find another church as well with a very beautiful altar. Both churches have beautiful paintings, statues, ceilings and other artwork.Written 20 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- john2bytheseaDeal, UK49 contributionsAmazing ancient city with well preserved ruins. Close to great beaches. Slight walk uphill and in the sun. Ancient basalt pavements, lots of history from pre Roman timesWritten 28 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Claude MVence, France1,000 contributionsThis nurraghe was well preserved and restored. It is great to be able to walk throught it and explore the hallways around the towers.
There are 2 other nuraghes not too far that offer a good illustration of what small lone towers are like.
The entry ticket also gives access to the archeological museum in town: it does not have may artifacts, but a lot of panels explaining timeline and history of the area. It is a good complement to the onsite visit.Written 16 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Easy to reach from the village.Written 20 September 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Sara MBergamo, Italy10 contributionsVisiting the Mine of Montevecchio has given us a clearer understanding of what Sardinian local people life has been for more than 150 years, since the ‘90s and which struggles they’ve faced to make a living. 🙏
All to let the world go around.
The visit was very interesting, clearly understandable (ita-eng) and our guide Cristina was especially loving and playful with all visitors, children included. She answered as much as was possible to all our questions and really made the difference in realizing the history of Montevecchio Mines and of the people that worked over there.
People can normally move by car from one site to the other. We were moving by foot and it was not an issue, distances are not too far from each other.
12€ best invested. (Such a cheap ticket to preserve the huge and valuable site of this mine)

- JAYNE DBridgend, UK2 contributionsLovely little town in the hills about an hours drive from Cala Gonone. Charming old feel with murals painted all around the town walls. There’s parking at the top of the hill in the small square opposite the church where there is a kiosk for information about the murals. Also in the square is a wonderful food truck selling local produce salami, cheese, oil and wines. The owner, a lovely friendly guy, also prepares fresh food and charcuterie. Ask for the Orgosolo Sandwich made with local bread, ham, cheese, basil and olive oil….you will not be disappointed it’s superb.Written 5 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Behr-H96231 contributionsWe left our car in the valley and enjoyed a great hike up to Tiscali. Stoney and sometimes steep way up but doable even for our four year old son. In between you are rewarded by beautiful views over the valley and rough mountains. Got a bit difficult when we had to pass a crevice. At the end of the hike we enjoyed the ancient place of Tiscali that was quite impressive!Written 27 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Behr-H96231 contributionsBeautiful romanesque Basilica in Porto Torres. One of the few things to do in that town. Little admission for entering the impressive church. The crypt was accessible too.Written 10 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- MarcusHurleyCalne, UK10,857 contributionsThe site at Turris Libisonis had taken longer than planned but the next site was only about 15 minutes away. Monte d'Accoddi is around 5-6000 years old and looks like a ziggurat. Smaller than the ones of Mesopotamia it is nevertheless an impressive site and unique in Europe. The walls are around 5m tall and the access ramp is 25m and there were lots of wildflowers around the site. Next to it is a large flat stone that could have been a sacrificial altar or feasting table as lots of animals bones were discovered around it. There is also the remains of a neolithic village and one of the many menhirs on the island next to the ramp.
The lady at the site was extremely helpful and there was also a useful explanatory app. The aerial photos gave a far better idea of the site size and layout and it is strange that this site is pretty much unheard of while Stonehenge - far more mundane - is world famous. The site was in use from around 3000BC to around 1800BC, so it fell out of use around the time the nuraghe started being built.Written 19 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The real awe kicks in once you understand that the ancestors were digging these burial chambers with stone tools. Do not expect egyptian Valley of kings.
depending on your fantasy and respect to the site, plan between 30 to 90 minutes to read the infographics explaining the layout of approx 30 collective burial chambers and investigating the V and XXVIII graves. however the most interesting grave is the one at the end of the tour, with a staircase and stone pillars. the whole site is fully exposed to sun. It has convenient parking space and a shopette.Written 19 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Our fresh bread, house wine, fresh salad, seafood and ravioli made our day! We ordered a portion of each but there was enough for two persons with each portion. Very satisfied.Written 17 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- CloudFrankfurt, Germany1,470 contributionsThis is very important in the city tradition history. Located just one step away from the Cripta of Sant'Efisio, you should definitely visit both.Written 18 July 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
