Reviews of Thymus Residence nei Sassi

The setting was amazing. The staff were so friendly and helpful.

The little holes in the walls should be lit for better atmosphere

Amazing split level suite with private spa - a perfect escape. Good breakfast choice.

Everything perfect!!! Very good breakfast, Everything clean and rooms are spacious.1000% recommend

The only downside was parking- no available at the hotel. Once you book your stay, they will send you message with 3 options of parking. We choosed parking behind the city, 30€ per day with shuttle included.Shuttle can take you just in front of the hotel.

Loved this hotel - easy to get around the old town. Staff were all really helpful with advice on where to go, great restaurant recommendations. Breakfast was very good - nice selection. Room was small but as advertised so not a problem. Would definitely come back

We had the most unforgettable stay in Matera. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome and completely at home—warm, friendly, and always ready to help. The accommodation, set in a beautifully restored cave, far exceeded our expectations. It perfectly blended the charm of Matera’s ancient history with modern comforts—everything we needed was thoughtfully provided. We especially loved the recliner seats (ideal for taking in the view or watching TV). And the daily breakfast, served in our own little courtyard, was an absolute highlight—fresh, generous, and beautifully presented. A truly special experience in a magical city. Highly recommended!

Honestly—nothing! And I don’t say that very often. Everything exceeded expectations and we wouldn’t change a thing.

The structure is a cave. This was a unjque experience. Owners were nice. It was very clean. We loved the place.

Everything was perfect.

Beautiful place, with very friendly staff. Staying in Matera is a wonderful experience, and even more so in a place like this, located inside one of the Sassi. The room was large, beautiful, and spacious. The breakfast was amazing! generous and delicious. We would stay here again without a doubt! We loved everything! They even surprised us with a lovely gesture: gifting us a nicely packaged artisanal bread on the day of our check-out.

Excellent service! Characteristic decoration! Best location!

The room was wonderful and full of character, perfect for the Matera experience.

Everything was wonderful

Really cute room, nice quiet location.

The location, spacious room , wry clean . Exceptionally friendly and efficient staff.

Absolutely nothing, this is a lovely place to stay.

I had no idea that staying in a cave could be so luxurious. The cave has been converted into a suite with a beautiful, comfortable bed at one end, a small sitting area around the view of the old (dry) cistern below the cave, a very nice seating area around the wall mounted flat screen tv, and a warm, comfortable, clean bathroom. There is wine waiting in the room and other wine in the reception area if there is something else more to your liking. Breakfast was typical southern Italian cuisine with an extensive selection and areas to eat indoors or out. The staff were more than helpful; making dinner reservations, reservations for a walking tour, and even arranging to have some of our laundry done for us. Staying right in an area as unique and historical as the Sassi of Matera is an experience not to be missed. The history of the area may put a few travelers off, but the story and its effect on southern Italy should not be missed.
