Truffle hunting in CROATIA (Istria) with my Dad! (Plus overnight in stunning 5* "Villa Tina")

Find out more about our private tours throughout Croatia: www.royalcroatiantours.com​
Truffle hunting is such a unique experience, and the Istrian region in Croatia is known for truffles! We went out with the Prodan family and their sweet pups, Stiv and Brum, to find some truffles in the forest. Mama Vanda made some incredible truffle dishes for us to try, and they were incredible. After an amazing day with the Prodans, we went back to a beautiful, nearby villa to spend the night, which was such a treat!
If you're interested in booking this incredible villa, here's Goran and Tina's direct contact:

*Tina and Goran also give amazing discounts in the winter months, which is a great time to visit Istria, because the weather is still mild and you can use the villa as a base to explore the whole region!
(We highly recommend this place, especially for group gatherings, having the pool, the outdoor space, huge terrace, beautiful bedrooms, all with ensuite bathrooms, the whole place was amazing!)

Again and again, thank you Sarah and Ivan on embarking this venture to promote Croatia

[@RoyalCroatianTours]

🥰🥰🥰 our pleasure!

[@mickmiller2342]

Great Video! I just moved to Istria from Germany with my family and I am really excited when you show me something new. I just started studying the Croatian language and am really thankful when I get so well done information in English. Thank you! And all the best to you and your family. I definitely will go to Buzet and experience this truffle🍄 hunt as well. Very nice people there🙂

[@RoyalCroatianTours]

Oh how wonderful that you moved to Istria. It's so beautiful there!

[@juricivan]

Germans are welcome in Croatia.

[@ivanjelenic5627]

Hah, i have a few german neighbors in Istria too. They retired and live here now with their family. My dad is practicing his german with them.

[@scukaf]

Sarah and Ivan, you're a real joy to watch. I've been following you for over a year now, and not in a single video I left disappointed. Really, really great job you both are doing by promoting our little piece of heaven to the whole world. BTW Sarah, you were fabulous the other day at HRT! I watched you with the smile and explaining to my wife who you are and what you are doing here. SShe responded how well you are at your Croatian :) All the best to you, to Ivan, your kids and to your whole family (Canadian and Croatian as well).

[@brokula1312]

Finally, I met your Dad! Have you explained to him that we are not letting you back? 🙂 Really enjoyed this episode. It's one of the best and I'm looking forward for the next one.

[@RoyalCroatianTours]

Lol! And I'm so happy you enjoyed the video!

[@franestulic9053]

I can't believe you have such a good Croatian accent!

[@jasonmccool4342]

Another heartwarming video ♥️, and I couldn't think of a nicer way to start my Saturday morning! Istria is simply gorgeous, and nice to meet your father 😁.

Thank you for representing Croatia

[@yugoslava6409]

Apart from constantly remind me how beautiful Croatia is in your videos I enjoy watching your beautiful and harmonious family life. The kids are so well mannered, sweet and gorgeus, your in-laws are lovely and Ivan and you humble and kind people- after watching your vlogs I feel energised with nothing but a positive energy. "Meeting" you dad today explains a lot where you get your charm and charisma from. It runs in the family. Your faithful admirer from Serbia. 💗 (By the way, I love listening you Croatian. It is perfect )

[@volbeatdbv9846]

Villa Tina izgleda brutalno dobro...

[@maslina4567]

Thank you so much for highlighting incomparable Istra. Buzet is one of my favourite towns anywhere and practically in my own back yard as is truffle territory. Outrageously beautiful.

Napokon ste došli i u Istru 😄

[@charlieranger4598]

Hi Sarah! I didn't know that you can find truffels with puppies. Just knew about the truffel-piggies. 🐽🐽 oink oink 😂 Well it was a pleasure to watch this video. The nature, the beautiful house with the adjoining forest. Wonderful and the weather was awesome, sunny and blue sky with white cloudlets...a recovery for body and soul. Your dad was great, I like him. The translation scenes with your dad and your father-in-law made me smile. Picture dida in Canada in Toronto....a full-time job for Olivia. lol The Villa Tina was also gorgeous. Where do you find all these beautiful locations?! You're kinda little wonderful location truffel-piggy/puppy. lol 😂😂

[@tihomirrasperic]

dogs are better at this job pigs have one big drawback, they love to eat truffles so if you’re not fast enough, just pigs have fun with truffles

[@charlieranger4598]

@@tihomirrasperic I see, didn't know it. Every day is a school day. :)

I don't get why a rooming house in Croatia with beautiful things everywhere...needs to have a picture of a tower in France prominently displayed.......

Bijeli tartufi su 8 puta skuplji od crnih tartufa ... mnogi skupljači beru samo bijele tartufe.
