Villa Mitsou

Around the corner from Melle's Romanesque church of Saint-Pierre, Villa Mitsou occupies a townhouse on the street of the same name in this Deux-Sèvres market town, a quiet base for travellers touring the region's three landmark churches rather than chasing city nightlife.

Rooms keep family configurations available alongside standard doubles, each with a tea and coffee maker for early starts. Breakfast is included, and free parking suits those arriving by car from Niort or Poitiers.

Melle's compact centre puts shops and the weekly market within easy walking distance of the door.
