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☆

PROTAGONISTI DI UNA FIABA........

.... è così che ci si sente soggiornando in questo luogo. Il paesaggio dei Sassi, le luci del tramonto e l'atmosfera incantata non possono trovare conclusione migliore di quella che offre Le dodici lune!! Personale che dire gentile è riduttivo, qualsiasi cosa che possa rendere indimenticabile il soggiorno a Matera loro lo fanno. Dalla colazione, strepitosa, alla sistemazione della camera, dalla pulizia ai consigli per le varie visite da fare in città....tutto curato con meticolosa attenzione. Non so quando tornerò a Matera ma son certo che tornerò e sceglierò certamente LE DODICI LUNE.

Bel hôtel, mais dans un environnement industriel

Hôtel et restauration de bonne qualité, personnel très courtois. Climatisation hors fonction dans notre chambre et présence d'odeurs d'un dépotoir situé à peu de distance en ouvrant la fenêtre. Environnement industriel sans accès à pied à des sites intéressants. Bon endroit pour des voyageurs d'affaires plutôt que pour des touristes cherchant l'ambiance d'une ville historique.

ESPERIENZA BRUTTISSIMA

MANCANZA DELL'ACQUA CALDA PER LAVARSI!!!! Asciugamani che puzzano di fritto. Assenza totale della vista panoramica sui sassi di Matera (nonostante il costo della camera pagata che era una Deluxe!). Sono riusciti a rovinarmi il soggiorno in questa bellissima città!

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.

ottimo hotel ma faticoso da raggiungere. non lo consiglierei a nessuno che abbia qualche anche minima difficoltà di deambulazione. appare come un hotel ma in realtà è un affittacamere e la reception non è coperta durante le ore notturne. Comunque c'è una sala colazione con buffet vario, abbondante e anche con qualche prodotto tipico locale.

Une expérience originale

La chambre était très spacieuse et très joliment aménagée dans une ancienne maison troglodyte en plein cœur des Sassi de Matera. Le petit déjeuner était très bien mais en revanche, l'accueil dans la salle de petit déjeuner pourrait vraiment être amélioré.

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.
