Thymus Residence nei Sassi

Nous avons séjourné deux nuits en juin 2025 dans ce « sassi » de Matera (Italie) Chambre troglodyte vaste et confortable , grand lit, une douche spacieuse et des sanitaires modernes. La température a l’intérieur est très agréable au regard de la chaleur accablante qui règne dehors... Petit déjeuner généreux .Personnel serviable et à l’écoute. Le Sassi est à l’intérieur du périmètre sauvegardé (zone ZTL réglementée). C’est la seule ombre au tableau. Nous avons choisi pour notre part de garer notre véhicule de location à l’extérieur de Matera avec une formule de prise en charge VTC . Solution pratique et …coûteuse mais il est difficile de se déplacer avec deux grosses valises sur ce site remarquable tout en terrasses pavées et en escaliers. C’est sans doute plus commode si vous voyagez léger.

We absolutely loved Matera. We loved our hotel. What a unique place. The staff were so very helpful too.

We loved our spa cave room at Thymus. It had a pool and a Turkish steam bath. The room accommodated four easily and was very clean and well appointed. The staff was wonderful and the breakfast was excellent. We would stay again and highly recommend to anyone. Matera is a unique place and this is a one of a kind, top tier property.

The hotel itself was great, location terrific, and the type of hotel room being in a cave mostly was remarkable. Matera itself is an interesting town with much history, not just Rome, Byzantium and Arab slavers but of the surprising nature of its topography and how the residents made it work. All this was great to see and Thymus itself did very well in showcasing it. What was annoying was the fact that only 3 days before we were due to arrive, Thymus sent me a message saying that no cars were possible in the city, and that I was left with either trying my best somewhere in town or outside, or utilize their covered parking option at 25 euros per day. No option really, but that was not the issue for me. The city itself makes cars impossible. I understand that having seen it. What annoys me is the fact that the hotel never mentioned this on the booking site. Had they stated that parking was impossible but they had a work around, I would likely have been happy with this. Or alternatively I would have dismissed this hotel and maybe even the town and traveled somewhere else. However I was not given the chance to make this choice. It was concealed. There are plenty of hotels in the city, both old town and new town. Plenty of parking options in the new town. None in the old town. Armed with this information from the hotel I may have decided to go somewhere else. Long rant I know, but this leaves a really bad taste in the mouth. Hence the rating.

スタッフさんも親切。朝食もおいしかった。

Abbiamo trascorso una notte nella suite superior con spa esclusiva insieme ai nostri bambini. Il posto è situato nei sassi, posizione perfetta per visitare il cuore di Matera. Siamo stati accolti con infinita gentilezza. La camera era pulita, comoda ed è stato piacevolissimo avere una spa privata dove potersi rilassare in famiglia. Infine la colazione è stata abbondante con prodotti tipici del posto. Senza dubbio ci torneremo!
