We decided that for our stay in Sardinia that we would like to stay for 4 days in the north and 4 days in the south. Sardinia is far bigger than we expected!

After reading other reviews on various websites, we picked Domu'e Luna for our southern based location.

We were not disappointed. The family who run the B&B are very friendly and helpful.

The rooms are clean and comfortable and as mentioned by many other reviewers, the breakfast is excellent. If you eat everything offered you could skip lunch !!

Where it is located makes it a very good base for exploring southern Sardinia.

The food in the restaurant near the B&B is excellent with good honest Italian food and wine and very friendly people.

The restaurant is closed one evening (Sunday or Monday) but the pizzeria next door serves good pizzas.

To find Domu'e Luna, find the bar restaurant with the pizzeria next door, opposite is a road, take this road, turn first right and the B&B is at the end on the left.

Hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did.

We will go back again, hopefully next year.

Domu'e Luna is a rare surviving example--and an excellent one--of the kind of informal establishment that used to be common in every Italian town: a place to stay that was larger than a bed-and-breakfast but not quite a hotel, typically having accommodation for a dozen or so guests. At their best they were very good indeed: cheaper, more welcoming and often more comfortable than the "commercial" establishments. This one is worth going out of your way for.

The greatest challenge is finding the place. It is not signposted from the main autostrada (SS 131). The best way there is to follow the signs for Villanovaforru; Lunametrona is 5 km further on. Once in Lunametrona, which is not large, you'll find that no one has ever heard of Domu'e Luna or Via Gioberti, the small street on the edge of town in which it's located. Instead, ask for directions to the Scuola Materna (pre-school). Keeping the school on your right, after 100 m or so you'll see the road fork gently rightwards. Domu'e Luna (which itself bears no sign or other identifying marks) is the large villa-like house plainly visible at the end of this right-hand fork.

Like most of Sardinia, the property is a step back in time. The en-suite rooms are furnished in classical Italian rural style: simple, tasteful and comfortable. The breakfast is immense. There is a spacious terrace where you may sit and pass the time with the house's three good-natured cats. Other than that, Domu'e Luna is a refuge from modernity. Your room has neither telephone nor television; the nearest internet connection is in Oristano or Cagliari, each about 60 km away. With the exception of some plain but good eating houses, a small cinema and a couple of bars, nightlife in Lunametrona is nonexistent. However, nobody in their senses would go there in search of stimulation. This is a place for people who do not need constantly to be diverted, and who wish to rediscover the traditional meaning of relaxation.

I agree with what others have said about the proprietors, who are courteous and considerate. If you require help and advice, they are ready to provide it; if you prefer to be left to your own devices, they know how to do that too. For those who want a reminder of what Italy used to be like before it turned into a Mediterranean-tinged version of everywhere else in Europe, this is a good place to find it.

We were looking for a base from which to explore Sardinia during our week on the island. Domu'e Luna was perfect for this! Domu'e Luna is in the small village of Lunamatrona. It's a little difficult to find at first but we had some help from a local gentleman who invited us to follow him (slowly) on his bicycle. After a day or two we realised the convenience of this location. Most of the island's South is quite accessible from Lunamatrona, especially the Cagliari region and the Southern coast. You will need a car though - buses are the only other option and they didn't seem to be all that frequent. Some towns are serviced by trains but we didn't see one train on the whole trip.
It was actually refreshing to drive back to the quiet villages surrounding Lunamatrona, and Lunamatrona itself, at night after spending the day in a crowded tourist area. The village night life is very relaxing and family orientated.
Domu'e Luna's owners (Esther and Josephine) were very friendly, welcoming and helpful - Esther speaks good English too. The rooms are clean, spacious and comfortable and the service is good. Breakfast was good if lacking a little variety. The best breakfast treat was when Josephine served fresh tomatoes with home grown basil and olive oil - delicious.
A good pizzeria is located across the street and they serve cold beer (wine also if you ask nicely).
Esther recommended some good restaurants in the nearby villages as well. The best one was Sa Lola, about 15 minutes drive from the B&B in the village of Burimini - a real find!
Travelling through Sardinia in August can be trying due to the volume of tourists especially on the beaches near the resorts and camp grounds but having Domu'e Luna to come back to made it much more comfortable. The owner's pets, a cat, three kittens and a dog, seem very comfortable with the guests - expect visitors.
The only drawback I could think of was the noise of people on the top floor in the mornings and some traffic noise late at night (locals speeding around on motor scooters I think). This was only a minor problem, I would gladly recommend this B&B for value, comfort and service.

On a roundtrip of the island, we stayed at Domu'e Luna for two days. Not expecting much, we were pleasantly surprised by the location and quality of the loggings. The room was as new, perfect, very clean and with plenty of space. Great bathroom also. Use of the garden to sit outside was a big plus. We felt very much at home, thanks to the warm reception and pleasant atmosphere created by the lovely hostess. And it's true: the breakfast was fantastic: a relief from the coffee with cake we found elsewhere. The recommended restaurant served us the best food we had whole week.
We have fond memories of our stay here, and would warmly recommend this hotel to anyone.
