The village is located on the Altopiano di Abbasanta plateau in an agriculturally well-developed area near the main traffic axis of Sardinia, the north-south motorway-like state road SS 131 , the SS 131dir branching off at Abbasanta to the northeast in the direction of Olbia and on the Cagliari– Golfo Aranci Marittima . The village itself is built around the Renaissance-style Santa Cristina church.

It is particularly important because of three archaeological sites in the vicinity :

• the giant tomb of Su Pranu

• the Nuraghe Aiga

In Abbasanta there is a training facility of the Polizia di Stato and a small airmobile special unit of the Carabinieri . The local heliports are also used by the Italian fire brigade .
