Building works
Unfortunately the building works adjacent to our room, was very noisy, being woken up at 7am and continuous throughout the day. This room should not be allocated to guests.

It’s amazing stay. I still can't believe how cheap the stay is, considering the huge room with simple but superb interior with walkin close and huge toilet+shower room. Just that if you come by car, Sassi area is quite complicate. We got a penalty ticket and didn't know yet how much we have to pay for it. Try ask the hotel in advance if you come by car. Anyway, apart from car hustle, everything can't be more perfect than it is. There is an amazing restaurant at the same area too! We will come again in 4years☆

Sassi Hotel
Very nice hotel, did not know what to expect from a cave hotel but it was lovely, not cold or earthy as what you would expect from a cave. Loved the cave experience and also the hang out cave in the room, very unusual and quirkey.

Warm and friendly, elegant and beautiful stay
Marie-Therese and her mother were such gracious hosts, and the Residenza was very special and unique, with its own courtyard. They had restored everything from ruins starting around 2000, and it's done so tastefully, with a good balance of respect for the original structure of the site, with a sense of classic style and comfort. The room, part ancient cave, part tufa stone, was so quiet and elegant (no tv, such a relief!), the walls all made out of the local tufa stone that radiated history. We treated ourselves to dinner in the restaurant the last night, which was one of the best meals of our entire Italian trip. Breakfast every morning was perfect, not only classic caffe latte, and a range of croissants and pastries (plus cold cuts and cheeses), but also my favourite, a delicious potato focaccia made fresh every morning by our hosts. The modern sculpture museum, Musma, is almost next door. In a 17th century palazzo, built on top of over 7 cave networks that were formerly Benedictine and Dominican monasteries, it's one of the most beautiful and compelling art installations we've ever seen. The sassi neighbourhood village, Sassi Caveosa, nestled into the cliffs, and the whole town, is quite beguiling. Walking up and down stone pathways and stairs everywhere you go, complete with sassi cats that came out to play at night, was very special.

Loved this hotel in Matera, good value and really nice views at night and very peaceful close to many good restaurants and museums. Very characterful, would not recommend to anyone with walking difficulties as parking can be tricky.

Really well located to explore Matera
Central for exploration of both Barisano and Caveoso districts, we found Dodici Luna to offer a very comfortable stay. The room was clean and spacious if a little bit stuffy, but that was a small price to pay for being in the well appointed 'cave'. Authorised parking is a short walk from the property and we were able to keep the car there even after check out in order to visit the area for a bit longer.

An awesome experience in a spectacular setting!
An awesome experience staying in this small friendly hotel in such a spectacular setting. Our cave room seemed to go on for ever with lots of corners and passages. Beautifully planned and lit. Full of atmosphere both inside and out. It is a highly recommended restaurant but they had a function on the night we stayed. We were welcome to eat in the courtyard and share the function menu. Great value for the price!

le Dodici Lune B&B
We stayed one night at Le Dodici Lune and it was exactly what we were looking for. It was easy to find as it's right on the main road on the drive in and there's was a free public parking lot very close to the hotel. We had to climb a bit of stairs to get to the hotel, so I suggest you pack decently lightly. The room was very clean and cute! We loved the cave effect but it was still clean and modern enough that you almost forgot you were in a cave. The mattresses were nothing special but not bad. We slept well. You can hear a little bit of what is going on outside but it was never too much. Breakfast was delicious but all sweet breads- which seems to be mostly what Italians eat for breakfast so it makes sense. The hotel isn't in the middle of all the sites, it's a little walk a way, that can be tiring. We liked the location but for someone who doesn't want to walk uphill much, our hotel was before the major incline where all the sites are so it was a little tiring. I would stay here again.
