Štrped is located in the pretty region of Buzet, in the heart of northern Istria. The area is world-famous for its white and black truffles found in the nearby forests of the Mirna Valley. The village itself is a prime example of Istrian rural peace, surrounded by vineyards and olive groves. The architecture of Štrped is typically Istrian, with stone houses and small alleys located into the hilly landscape.

For outdoor enthusiasts, the area features numerous opportunities for paragliding, rock climbing in the Buzet canyon, or hiking on the Path of the Seven Waterfalls.
