Bravo to Bora who was more than helpful. Your restaurant picks were excellent as well!
The property was immaculate, can’t imagine there is a nicer place to stay.
Breakfast had lots of choices. The spa tub was great after a long very hot day.

Thymus Residence is a unique and charming hotel. The hostess met us with a warm welcome and the hotel was exactly as we imagined - a charming, high end, cave experience. In the heart of the Sassi and close walking distance to one-of-a-kind sites. The rooms were very nice, the food delicious. I would definitely stay again!!

Amazing experience. The location was easy to get to with the internal bus shuttle from the car park outside the ZTL zone.
The cave experience was amazing.

Thymus Residence is just such a different place to stay with breakfast taken just next door to our accommodation in a former medieval church. So many interesting features in the immediate area. We chose a cava suite at Thymus for 3 nights. Simply had to have one of the former cave rooms if you’re going to Matera! Such a different experience to staying in a regular room. But while still visibly a cave architecturally, it had every convenience to a high standard. Absolutely amazing.

Beautiful. Well designed, well appointed, the staff was lovely. Our room had a steam sauna, which was a nice treat after an unusually cold and windy March day.

Great (modernized) cave stay in Matera.
Loved the hotel. Very caring and helpful managers and staff. Beautiful room, well equipped. Modern within the cave setting. Great breakfast- Matera has the best bread (and the light ricotta with fig syrup - amazing). Convenient location to everything (but note- parking is outside the old city for all hotels and a bit of a challenge to find).
