Home/Where to stay/Barban/4- and 5-star hotels
4- and 5-star hotels in Barban
All 15 properties are holiday villas and homes with private pools, spread across Barban and its surrounding hamlets, best suited to families and groups who want space, quiet and a car.
Staying in Barban
Barban sits in the eastern part of Istria, inland from the Adriatic coast and about 30 km northeast of Pula. Its historic core holds a parish church, local cafes and a few guesthouses, while the municipality spreads out into small hamlets of stone houses and countryside. The nearest beaches lie along the eastern Istrian coast, around 15 to 20 km away, so days here tend to be about the villages, the hills and trips to Pula, Rovinj and Labin.
The hotels on this list sit in those outlying hamlets rather than in the centre: addresses name Ružići, Kujici, Manjadvorci, Poljane, Orihi, Rebici, Cetinici, Saini, Zupanici and Barban itself, with distances to the centre from 0.5 km to 10.3 km. Every one is a 5-star villa or holiday home with an outdoor pool. The format suits families and groups of friends who want a whole house, a kitchen and a garden, and couples or small parties taking a short break by car.
