Istarske Toplice, situated near the hilltop truffle-hunting town of Buzet in the heart of Istria, Croatia, is one of the oldest thermal resorts on the Adriatic peninsula, drawing sulphurous thermal waters from ancient springs already known in Roman times in this karst landscape of the Mirna River valley. The hydrogen sulphide-rich mineral composition of Livade's thermal springs has historically drawn bathers seeking rest and recuperation, sustaining a balneological tradition that continues today within the resort's modern spa programme. Set amid the truffle forests, olive groves, and medieval walled towns of Istria's interior — one of Central Europe's most gastronomically and culturally celebrated landscapes — Istarske Toplice occupies a uniquely privileged natural and cultural position on the Adriatic.

Insider tip — Istarske Toplice in Livade is a historic sulfurous thermal resort set in a wooded Istrian valley, renowned since Roman times and documented in medieval texts. The hydrogen-sulfide waters are used medically for skin and respiratory conditions in a clinical setting attached to the resort. The adjacent Mirna River valley is one of Istria's premier truffle-hunting territories, and autumn visits coincide with the Livade truffle festival. The dramatic karst landscape around the spa makes it one of Croatia's most scenic thermal destinations.
