Barban
Barban is countryside living in its plainest form — a small hilltop village surrounded by fields and pasture, without a coastline or a tourist season to speak of. Its one claim to fame, the centuries-old Trka na prstenac ring-tilting tournament, brings a single lively weekend a year; the rest of the time it's about as quiet and agricultural as Istria gets.

Who it suits
Who it suits
Young couples without children
It suits as a base for working from home and for active trips, but there is little evening entertainment within walking distance.
Families with children
A spacious house can be an advantage if the daily trips to school do not become excessive.
Older people and retirees
It is better to consider Barban itself or housing near the services you need; a secluded house requires a car, reliable heating and readiness for more independent living.
