We absolutely loved this place! We came as a family of 4 with my 2 daughters aged 5 and 7. My 7 year old says it's her favourite place on our 2 week Italian holiday and wants to come to stay every year! The cool inside the cave was a welcome oasis from the July Matera heat! We were blown away by the size (huge), stylish interior design and modernity of our cave dwelling suite. Even better than the pictures! Loved that we were told the story behind the room we stayed in. The owners are so kind and welcoming. They provided recommendations etc. Location was fantastic and easily walkable to everything (even with our young kids)! Breakfast was simple continental style with a few hot options on buffet but perfectly satisfying and all 4 of us were happy enough. Excellent granola for me, the girls loved the chocolate cake and savoury foccacia type bites that my husband enjoys! Matera is such a unique city and definitely worth the visit...and if you do....stay here!

The breakfast wasn’t filled up once it was served. However, there was still a lot which was offered, so it wasn’t a problem. The cave can “stink” a little bit and be a bit humid, but this is just the nature of it. One little thing, we were sleeping in a cave which was build by bricks - some rooms are truly a cave, so this was a little bit disappointing, assuming all rooms would be caves.

Very cute hotel in the middle of the Sassi - if you book this accomodation, you can completely enjoy the Sassi without taking a step out of it for the time of your stay. The staff recommends you things to do. The breakfast was very great. The hotel room was very cozy, they even wrote a letter about who has lived in the cave before.

Dehumidifiers didn't seem to be working well, so it was a bit damp, but the temperature was perfectly cool.

Amazing atmosphere, great breakfast.

There was nothing to dislike however you do need to trek a little to arrive to it so I would pack lightly.

This was a very unique property, I’ve never stayed in a place like it. You felt it’s history.

The location of the hotel was perfect to explore Sassi

Our stay at Le Dodici Lune was wonderful. The property was beautiful and the room was very clean and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They showed us important sites and booked us a taxi to get us back to our car so we didn’t have to lug our luggage through the many many stairways of Matera.

Amazing hotel engraved into my the hill and looks like thousand and one night at night. Amazing trip back in time and very spacious and comfortable and clean room for 6 people. Very friendly and caring staff, open to help - they helped to book for us place in parking and shuttle delivery to the hotel. Nice breakfast. In general whole experience - THE AMAZING IMPRESSION to remember!!! Highly highly recommended as quite uniques experience And Matera city itself is massive unique experience - clearly no miss destination

Reception closed for a period during the day. A little tricky to find with a lot of steps to negotiate.

Away from the busier main tourist areas. Delightful ‘cave’ rooms and beautiful dining/breakfast area. Lovely breakfast.

Everything was great!

This was a really cool and unique hotel experience! The room was well appointed with little amenities and the bed was comfy. Of course, it was a little dark, but we fully expected that as it was in a cave! The breakfast was a very generous and delicious spread. The staff was very friendly and accommodating! We arrived when reception was closed but called the front desk and they gave us the door code to leave our luggage in the lobby until reception reopened, which I appreciated.

Nothing really just expect windy conditions since its Matera in April

Cave-like but comfy interiors… cozy courtyard for early morning or late evening chill, good ( not same daily) breakfast and Charlie, the giant Pyrenese!

It was an amazing experience in the Heart of the old city of Matera! We really enjoyed it. We will be back definitely.

Beautiful clean room! The hot tub was amazing and great pick for when we came back from exploring all day to massage your tired legs! Staff was wonderful!

Unique hotel. Rich history. Perfect location. Quiet and comfortable. Delicious breakfast, with plenty of variety. Warm and welcoming staff. Our 10 day trip through Rome, Pompeii, Amalfi Coast - Matera was my favorite place! Can’t wait to come back!
