El Jardín de Mer, Miengo Overview
El Jardín de Mer is located in Miengo, Spain. Rated 8.8 out of 10 based on 12 guest reviews.

Check-in runs from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM, and check-out is at 11:00 AM, so plan your arrival around those windows.
The apartment is designed for longer, self-directed stays: it includes two bedrooms, a flat-screen TV, and a fully equipped kitchen where you can cook instead of relying on every meal out.
