You need to put your css in /resources/static/css. This change fixed the problem for me. Here is my current directory structure.

src
  main
    java
      controller
        WebAppMain.java
    resources
      views
        index.html
      static
        css
          index.css
          bootstrap.min.css

Here is my template resolver:

public class WebAppMain {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    SpringApplication app = new SpringApplication(WebAppMain.class);
    System.out.print("Starting app with System Args: [" );
    for (String s : args) {
      System.out.print(s + " ");
    }
    System.out.println("]");
    app.run(args);
  }


  @Bean
  public ViewResolver viewResolver() {
    ClassLoaderTemplateResolver templateResolver = new ClassLoaderTemplateResolver();
    templateResolver.setTemplateMode("XHTML");
    templateResolver.setPrefix("views/");
    templateResolver.setSuffix(".html");

    SpringTemplateEngine engine = new SpringTemplateEngine();
    engine.setTemplateResolver(templateResolver);

    ThymeleafViewResolver viewResolver = new ThymeleafViewResolver();
    viewResolver.setTemplateEngine(engine);
    return viewResolver;
  }
}

And just in case, here is my index.html:
