Motovun
Motovun sits on a hill above the Mirna valley, its medieval walls looking out over vineyards and the truffle-hunting woods the area is known for internationally. It's small and touristy in summer, especially during the Motovun Film Festival, but the surrounding countryside — vineyards, family wineries, quiet hamlets — is where most people actually looking to live here end up.

Who it suits
Who it suits
Young couples without children
The atmosphere of a hilltop town, vineyards and gastronomy will suit, but in summer and during the film festival it is crowded, and the sea and evening outings need a car.
Families with children
The space around the town is attractive, but the steep climb to the old town and the cobblestones make it hard to get around with a pushchair; school and activity routes should be checked in advance.
Older people and retirees
The views and the calm will appeal; housing with easy access or below the old town is more practical than a house at the top of the hill.
