This was well worth the trip but check the opening times before you go. Be aware that it closes for lunch/siesta at different times through the year. The site itself is interesting and there are good information boards - probably the best Nuraghic remains we found. The ticket also gets you into the archaeological museum in Dorgali.

One of the best-preserved and largest Nuragic complexes in Sardinia, surrounded by nature. Spectacular place that is definitely worth visiting. Walking through this very ancient village is special. You can still see the building structures, the streets. It's bigger than I expected. Visit it. Definitely a place not to be missed.

We had an interesting tour of the Nuragic village of Serra Orrios. It is fascinating to see all of the different structures in the village, including two temples and many huts. The site is very large and requires a lot of walking.

Tip: It is helpful to be able to read or understand some Italian when visiting. And take a hat or umbrella as it can get very warm and there is not too much shade.

This was my first visit to a Sardinian Nuragic prehistoric site and it was impressive. Pottery from between 1600 and 800 BC were found here. There is a guide but we visited it alone. This is worth a visit if you are in the Dorgali area. The cost was € 5.

The ruins of the village extend over several acres. It helped us imagine what a village may have looked like with clusters of dwellings in groups around wells or springs. There are no tall towers at this site, but it does contain a few temple ruins. Very interesting if you like to explore and learn about Nuraghe dwellings and life.

We visited this site on the same day as Nuraghe Mannus. We found it interesting to see both. This site gives a clear picture of the extent of this Neolithic community and their sophistication in organising themselves socially and politically to be able to run this large community. There are 49 huts plus assembly hall and temples. Very interesting to see their level of development with what has been found at these excavations. The guide at the ticket booth gave us helpful information to take with us and there are a number of information stations as you walk around. When we returned to the ticket booth we had some questions to ask about the Nuraghe and the guide was incredibly helpful in answering and in giving us further information. This helped add so much to our visit. Be aware that this closes for some hours in the middle of the day. It is not very well signposted as you drive along the road so be ready for a quick turn off when you come to it.

This is quite a large bronze age village site and a good hour or two can spent wandering the ruins and walking the narrow streets between the building remains. You can really imagine what it must have felt like thousands of years ago, we were by ourselves, as far as i could tell, and it was quite atmospheric. Great information provided, a book, in English or Italian and a map. So you can get a good feel for the archaeology thats been done and what has been learned about the site and the people. Tours are provided, although we didn't have the time to wait until the next one, but i would recommend going on one if you can. The guide books we had said it reopened at 3 in the afternoon, but it was actually 4pm until 7pm. Like many places it was closed for a few hours from 1pm. I bought the book about the site for a reasonable 9 euros, there was no sign saying they sold them but i asked and they did sell new copies. Be careful you don't drive past, the only sign near it is literally right on top of it, no warning to turn off.

Very nice site, definitely worth a visit.
Some info:
- the site is open only from 10am to 1pm and from 3pm to 6pm
- every hour there is a guided free tour, which adds much to the visit!
- there is the possibility to have a cumulative entry ticket for Nuraghe Mannu, Serra Orrios and the archeological Museum (currently under renovation) for only 6 euro.

Note: while I was very pleased to see the passion and competency of the guide, it was quite frustrating to recon the lack of information for not Italian speaking visitors!
Suggest to get some background info before to get there!

We really enjoyed this site and there was far more of it than we thought there would be. If you visit the tower in Cala Gonone then it includes entrance to this site as well - it is well worth doing both.

Really interesting "Nuralgic" settlement, originally excavated in the late 1930s, which shows the remains of a large number of huts and other buildings over quite an extensive area. Certainly worth reading the literature offered when buying the ticket in the shade of one of the many olive trees there. If possible go to the archeological museum in Dorgali - the ticket offers free entrance - to see some of finds from here and the surrounding area.
