"VRBO owner Filomena Benevento's title should be the "ambassador" of historical city Tricarico! Filomena was gracious for having a late evening dinner with local goodies in the fridge due to our late arrival, to taking us on a tour of her city. Once she discovered we were wine producers from California on a research trip of Nebbiolo, Sangiovese and Aglianico in the Basilicata wine region, she arranged the meeting of local Cantina owners to view their vineyards and very historic cantinas. Our trip...

"The apartment has everthing you need and is in a good location to explore the area. Filomena was a very helpful host and was always on hand to advise. She took us on a very interesting walk around the town including a guided tour of the tower."

"Très jolie et très bon petit déjeuner.."

"We were in town visiting family. "

"We absolutely loved our stay of 4 nights at Thymus! Incredibly clean and so cool to stay inside a cave. Breakfast outside while looking at the hills of matera will never be forgotten. Well worth every penny!"

"We would have liked to use the pool after 6.30pm but respected the rules. Lovely family and the property was very clean. We had a lovely stay"

"Lovely property. You need a car if going to old Matera. Grocery store close by. Pretty grounds and great pool (although like most Italian pools, not heated.) we found easy parking lots near the historic area so it is ok. The photos are deceiving because the spa whirlpool tub is not included - you have to pay 100 euro per couple to use those amenities. That should be made clear in the listing or they shouldn't show the photos. " Cave" hotel room is fun but only a window at door and in bathroom....

"Everything about our stay at the hotel was excellent, such a great location ! Our room was so lovely and how fun to sleep in a beautiful cave . All the staff were so helpful and kind from the moment we arrived. Breakfast was delicious and special to have piano music to begin our day . Thank you making our stay in Matera so memorable."

"The staff here are so accommodating. They contacted me prior to the trip to help ensure we had airport transportation. We were easily able to communicate. The front desk staff were lovely and speak English. They also helped us call taxis during our stay. The room was very nice with our own private patio. There is daily room cleaning. The included breakfast buffet had a nice selection. The hotel is located in a central area in the Sassi. We were able to walk to most places."

"We enjoyed our stay in this very nice location directly at the center of Matera. Also we were accomodated very well, got a lot of tips for the visit and a good breakfast."

"The holiday flat is beautiful and offers enough space for 4 people. The flat is in a small side street not far from the centre of Ginosa. Many thanks to Pasquale - he is a wonderful host!"
