Locations that win hearts from Rovinj to Labin

The most sought-after areas include inland Istria such as Motovun, Grožnjan, Vižinada and Buzet, ideal for a peaceful life surrounded by vineyards and olive groves. Eastern Istria is also attracting increasing attention, especially Labin, a historic town set above the sea with views of Kvarner Bay. Labin combines the charm of its old town, proximity to the sea and a growing selection of luxury houses with pools in attractive locations such as Rabac, Vinež and the surrounding hills. Nearby are also appealing villages where modern villas with pools are being built in natural settings.

On the other hand, the western coast of Istria - Rovinj, Poreč, Fažana and Novigrad - appeals to buyers who want to be closer to the sea while still enjoying privacy and the aesthetics of the Istrian landscape.
