Excellent little hotel with good location. We appreciated shuttle service provided by nearby private parking garage (recommended by the hotel also). Our cave was perfect for sleeping, no outside noise at all. The bed was a bit too hard for us, though. Several restaurants in very short walking distance.

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.

We enjoyed the stopover night and the scenic and quaint atmosphere of Ascoli. The car park service recommended by the hotel was very good and hassle free. The receiptionist gave us very good recommendations. Quit and still few minutes from the hot spots. Overall, we enjoyed it very much and plan to go back again.

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!!

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.

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).

The people made this place a lovely cave to stay at. Can not recommend them more.

What an unbelievable hotel with the most exceptional hostess! Apart from the pain of not being able to park, this stay was an absolute highlight.
The beauty and Magrath of Matera is matched beautifully by this hotel. We were lucky enough to stay in the suite with its own personal grotto pool and spa …. Unbelievable!
Stay here if you get the chance

We had an exceptional stay from start to finish !!! Such a unique place to stay we loved everything about it. The receptionist who checked us in Bora, was very welcoming, informative and helpful even though she'd only been working there for 4 days. The room was fabulous, cosy and warm after a long day out in the cold and pouring rain , perfect to come back to where we ordered takeaway pizza to have with the complimentary bottle of wine we'd been left as a gift.The next morning we all enjoyed our breakfast and our hosts were very hospitable. We would highly recommend staying here 100%
