Reviews of Le Dodici Lune

Matera is a breathtaking place to experience. Le Dodici Lune was truly the icing on the cake! The cutest cave rooms, courtyard, and an incredible dining room/restaurant right in the heart of the Matera's old cave city (Sassi di Matera). Le Dodici Lune was convenient (super close to a primary parking lot & the park entrance for hiking), plus so many restaurants all in walking distance around the old city. Antonella was pleasant to message with, and Mariateresa was a savior! Breakfast buffet is a must, it's delicious, fresh, and convenient! As for visiting Matera, Even in the middle of summer during the height of tourism season, I found myself wandering stone streets with peaceful silence and nature sounds a good portion of my stay. There is so much magic in this place, I genuinely cannot wait to return!

I loved this property so much. I fell in love with the Booking listing images, but nothing prepares you for how beautiful it truly is. What I didn't like is that I couldn't move in and stay forever. :,(

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!

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.

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.

Central location, lovely courtyard, nice staff.

Wonderful location in the old city. This beautiful boutique hotel and breakfast will not disappoint. There are many stairs to get to the hotel. The taxi can only take you up to the old city then you walk down many stairs.

The rooms are spacious and clean

Everything was excellent , the breakfast was not so good

Amazing atmosphere, great breakfast.

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

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

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

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.

Great location and setting.

A cave experience but the caves are damp so be ready for that. Staff and breakfast are excellent.

Not much .

Excellent location, beautiful hotel and surroundings. The staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious, served in a beautiful stone hall. I highly recommend this accommodation in Matera.

Location, stuff

Very cute , great breakfast, clean!

Loved the room, the building and courtyard. Breakfast was delicious. We had an awesome time in Matera.

Everything! The courtyard was lovely with flowering plants and trees. The rooms were immaculate. Staff was friendly and so helpful. Breakfast was home cooked and delicious. The rooms were so well appointed.

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

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

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