Županići is located in the rolling hills of eastern Istria, in the hinterland of the town of Labin. The village gives a peaceful atmosphere far from the hustle and bustle of tourist coastal centers, yet it is only a short drive from the crystal-clear bays of Rabac. The area is rich in forests and agricultural land, making Županići a well-suited spot for nature lovers. The region's history is closely linked to mining in Labin, but Županići itself preserves the character of an agrarian village. In recent years, many of the old farmhouses have been converted into elegant holiday accommodations, often featuring private pools and large gardens. The local cuisine of the Labinština region is famous for 'Labinski krafi', a type of sweet or savory filled pasta that is a must-try in the surrounding konobas. For active people, the surroundings offer numerous hiking and cycling trails through Mediterranean macchia and oak forests. A trip to the medieval old town of Labin, perched on a hill, has not only cultural sights but also a panoramic view over the entire Kvarner Bay. Županići is thus a convenient location for guests seeking peace but wanting cultural and maritime experiences within reach.
