B&B Zigante**** is situated in the Istrian village-Livade. This small place keeps attracting more and more people, particularly since Mr Giancarlo Zigante found the biggest truffle in the world, which weighted 1.310 kg and entered the Guinness book of records. This remarkable event that took place in November 1999 ensured Livade the title of the world Centre of truffles. Nowadays, the truffle holds an irreplaceable position in world gastronomy and the best world restaurants rely on its simplicity and powerful attractiveness in creating their menus. But how many of them could boast with the fact that this precious mushroom grows in the untouched nature just outside their courtyard? Restaurant Zigante i is surely one of the rare. It is the first restaurant in Croatia specialised in the Istrian truffle based menu.
The restaurant offers also a unique experience: truffle seeking demonstration in Motovun forest. Situated in the refurbished stone Istrian house just next to the restaurant, these four stars modern rooms are the right choice for every gourmet person who appreciates powerful relaxation that a typical rural Istrian place can offer.

Hotel Zigante is in the Istrian village of Livade. The restaurant offers a truffle-based menu, there are organised truffle and wine tasting visits, truffle seeking demonstrations and a shop selling truffle products.

Set in a renovated stone house, rooms here are large. Each has a spacious seating area and a bathroom with a shower. All rooms are equipped with air conditioning, free Wi-Fi and a flat-screen cable TV.

Regional specialities, such as lamb chops, crayfish and ravioli, are garnished and cooked with different sorts of the highly prized Istrian truffle. Guests can enjoy these delicacies on the romantic arcaded terrace, which faces the inner courtyard.

The Zigante is 35 km away from Poreč. Livade is also home to the Istarske Toplice thermal health resort, located nearby.
