Le Dodici Lune

Struttura bellissima, uno dei punti più belli da cui ammirare la magica Matera. Camera super confortevole, dal letto al bagno tutto perfettamente funzionante. Personale gentilissimo e disponibilissimo. Colazione abbondante con prodotti freschi preparati in casa. Super consigliato!

WOW, Matera is a very unique place! To appreciate it, you need to walk lots of stairs up and down but its history and beauty are worth it! Most of the city is pedestrian with many important historical places to visit, like antic churches and museums. We stayed in Le Dodici Lune, a unique "cave" hotel, which has been completely renovated with all the modern facilities. Cinzia and Mariateresa are fantastic hostesses and proud owners. They welcomed us in Italian and English and provided a map, highlighting the all the important sites. Full breakfast is included, using local suppliers, even the yogurt is home-made! Cars are not allowed to enter the town but porters are available to help with luggage and they recommend a secure parking close by. Matera is lovely to walk and at night, the light is magical!

When we first arrived to Le Dodici Lune we could not believe out eyes. The hotel is built into old caves in Stassi Caveoso and is a truly remarkable place. Our “room” was absolutely massive with a large bathroom too. The cave was amazing upon entry. The breakfast buffet was also very nice. However, the problem came at night when we got into bed and realized all the bedding was damp from the humid atmosphere in the cave. this was with 2 dehumidifiers and 3 air cons running. We got through the first night but when it came to the second night we were very happy we were only having a short stay because the second night the bed felt even more damp and both nights the pillows and bedding smelled like cheese. It made the stay very uncomfortable overall. It should also be noted that if you have any mobility issues it would be impossible to stay here as there are many stairs and a long walk required to get there. I realized I booked a room that was in a cave so perhaps it’s my fault for not anticipating the dampness but it came as a shock to me the room was so uncomfortable. We would not stay here again because of this and would not recommend this place.
