Very close to amenities, especially Mahon and Es Castell (fishing village) where you will be spoilt for choice for reasonably priced restaurants and bars, etc.
Es Castell is situated at the mouth of the Port of Mao and framed by two attractive coves, Cales Fonts and Cala Corb, and is the easternmost town in Spain, and the first to see sunrise.
It is a town steeped in history and military connections, evidence of which can still be seen today. Originally named Georgetown by the English who built it in square-block military style, it was later renamed Real Villa de San Carlos (Villacarlos) when the island reverted to Spanish rule in 1782. It is now known as Es Castell (The Castle) because of it’s proximity to the previously demolished Fort San Felip.
The town’s history is strongly reflected in its layout and architecture. The most obvious is the central square, previously the parade ground, which is dominated by the elegant facades of the clock tower of the 18th century town hall and military barracks (now a Military Museum and open to the public).
The more gruesome-minded like to inform us (falsely?) that the cove adjacent to the square is named Cala Corb (corpse) - because the currents had a tendency to wash up the bodies of the escapees from the quarantine islands in the harbour!
Es Castell has plenty to offer its residents and visitors alike in the way of shopping, restaurants, and nightlife. There are market days twice a week, and the town has its own annual fiesta, the Fiesta de San Jaume, at the end of July. Many of the bars and restaurants are situated around the two coves, Cala Corb, and more especially Cales Fonts, and many are in converted caves around the harbour - a superb atmospheric setting. Many of these caves were believed to have been carved out by the earliest inhabitants around 2500 BC.
A turning off the roundabout at the entrance to Es Castell leads to the prehistoric village of Trepuco and just 1Km from Son Vilar. There can be found a massive talyot (conical mound of stones - some have an inside chamber and passage) and taula , (which is unique to Menorca – a huge upright stone slab, supporting another large slab lying horizontally across it). Mystery still surrounds their purpose, and indeed how the got there! In an adjacent field to the west, part of the village has been excavated. The monuments were originally built during the second millenium BC, and are well worth a visit. Views of Es Castell, Cales Fonts, and the talyot at Trepuco can be seen by visiting:

If you plan to visit Menorca, perhaps for a holiday, then Es Castell is certainly a destination that should be on your list. There are many holiday villas to rent in Menorca, but villas in Es Castell are particularly popular because of local amenities and easy access to gorgeous beaches.
Married with two student sons. Day job working as a freelance.
The villa is situated in a peaceful village with no passing traffic, yet it is only 1km from all the amenities of Es Castell (fishing village with some terrific bars and restaurants) and also 1km from the capital Mahon.
The villa has developed over the years, including the splendid pool and air conditioning. It's just the perfect base for a holiday on this lovely island.

“A superb and very well-run holiday home, complete with all modern conveniences including a lovely private swimming pool. Near to lots of good beaches and the town of Es Castell which features a delightful waterfront setting, completely free of traffic and with lots of good restaurants and very reasonable prices. We would particularly recommend the property for families, including those with young children and babies. The property is detached and beautifully quiet - and for British visitors, you won't need to miss your favourite TV programmes with a fully-equipped satellite installation with all UK channels. We would also recommend hiring a car to get around, something which the owner can arrange at special prices if you book early.”

“Excellent location between Es Castell and Mahon within walking distance of both (although if you are elderly a car is preferable) Peaceful and private setting, lovely pool and pretty,well kept gardens. Clean,comfortable and well equipped accommodation and generous welcome pack provided. Only one small suggestion for improvement, I think towel change could be twice a week instead of once.The owner, Mr Perry, sent an information pack prior to our holiday which was full of helpful information,instructions and directions. We would have no hesitation booking again we had a lovely holiday.”
Owner's response: Thank you "Mick" for your constructive feedback. I am contacting my local manager today to see if we can put in a twice weekly towel change asap and I'm sure this is going to be possible. (Owner).
