The SANTU ANTINE NURAGHE, also called Sa domo de su Re ("The House of the King") is one of the most majestic nuraghi in Sardinia. The main structure was built around the 19-18th century BC, and the other parts of the nuraghe date back to the 17-15th century BC.
The main tower originally reached a height of 23-24 meters, the highest structure for that period after the Egyptian pyramids.
After the Santu Antine, we'll go to TINNURA, a village of the Planargia region, famous for its wine (Malvasia di Bosa), the artistic weaving and, most of all, because the center is an outdoor Art and Modern Architecture Museum, abounding with murals and various statues by important Sardinia artists.
Finally, we'll reach BOSA, a unique and unspoiled town on the northwestern coast of Sardinia. Surrounded by beautiful, wild countryside, stunning beaches and coastline, Bosa has retained its ancient charm and Sardinian identity and has not suffered the over-development of some of the island's beach destinations.

I am a licensed tourist guide of the Sardinia Region with many years of experience and I always love to present and to show my island. I think it is a very beautiful and interesting place and it really deserves to be visited. At the university, I've studied sociolinguistics but as I am a native Sardinian, all my studies were mostly connected to Sardinia, which has a very special cultural and linguistic situation. Anyhow, beside its interesting history, culture and languages, Sardinia has the most beautiful beaches of the Mediterranean, plus and extraordinary variety of landscapes. I've worked as tour guide more than 30 years, before just as part time activity during the summer and now as a full time work, and even after so many years, I always enjoy to take the people around this beautiful and extraordinary island.
“Knowledgeable, warm hearted local!”
We can’t recommend Matteo enough. He’s a very knowledgeable local with a wonderful energy. He picked us up in the north of the island and he curated a custom agenda for us based on our interests and our requested final destination in the south of the island. He was also flexible- helping us add and modify the agenda as ideas come up! We had an incredible day and arrived safely in the south of the island for part two of our trip. What an incredible way to see and learn more of the island, rather than just driving straight from point A to point B!
