These are two neighbouring properties with a family “home from home” feel. Each property can be rented as a standalone or they can be rented together to give a greater number of beds and various options for your group. They are owned by two families; and if you decide to come to Deux Coeurs and/or Petit Coeur we want you to make yourselves at home, and enjoy them as much as we do.
They are equally suitable for winter or summer holidays, are very well equipped and wonderfully relaxing.
Maison Deux Coeurs has 5 bedrooms sleeping 10, with an option of two additional beds on a mezzanine area - see floorplans. Chalet Petit Coeur has 2 bedrooms sleeping 4, with a good quality sofa bed in the lounge area for an additional 2 people - see floorplans. So a maximum of 18 can be accommodated. There is a Hot Tub and Spa Pool with maison Deux Coeurs which would be available to both properties if a joint booking. Both are available all year round at 16 degrees C, but can be heated to 26 degrees C in the winter for an additional charge.
We work in partnership with local companies, especially Fiona and Lewis and their team at Sea and Summit Property Services who provide a very friendly and professional service and in-resort support, tailored to your needs.
Samoens is, without doubt, very, very special, but you don’t need to take our word for it! The Telegraph definitely think so… Modern vs medieval: two types of French ski resort, but which is better?
…and so, too, do the Mail… French Alps Luxury
Samoëns (pronounced locally as ‘sam-wan’) is ancient dialect for ‘seven mountains’ or, in French, ‘septimontain’ – it’s true – from the village you are pretty much surrounded by seven mountains – snowy in winter, green in summer.
Samoens is still a fairly well-kept secret; a historic village in a picturesque valley which just happens to be a ski resort in winter and an activity hub in summer. Not that you’d easily tell though. Yes, it’s obvious what a beautiful historic place it is, what with its ancient streets, marketplace and Church, but the ski resort? You’d hardly know; one subtly placed high speed telecabine, the Grand Massif Express, whisks you discretely up one of the seven mountainsides to the ski domain that starts at Samoens 1600 and, from there, goes up, and up, and up! And as for the summer activity hub – Samoens takes a less obvious natural approach here. The bike trails are very au naturale – lots of grass and rocks, not so much of the artificial parks – although parks are available in nearby Les Carroz. And the watersports? – well they couldn’t come any more natural – the river descends from the equally historic Sixt, down through a spectacular gorge to Samoens itself.
Samoens is popular with the French – those who live there all year round - it is a proper village with local industries like cheese making, stonemasonry and carpentry - but also the French who visit for their holidays. That’s a good sign! And that being the case you can be assured of the very best of restaurants, bars and food shops – superb bakers, butchers, cheese shops, charcuteries and grocers. Don’t worry – there are a couple of the obligatory supermarkets too!
You will find that everyone is very friendly especially if you make an effort to speak a little French - however basic!

Petit Coeur is a fantastic Chalet perfect for a family. Location is perfect too, 5 mins walk to Samoens and 2 min walk to Ski bus. The chalet itself is finished to a high standard throughout and I particular appreciated comfortable beds and a nice log fire after a hard days skiing. We shall return!
I had a wonderful stay in the chalet for my first trip to the resort. The house is lovely and felt very comfortable immediately. The kitchen and living areas were great for socialising and relaxing after skiing and the hot tub was also rather lovely. It is very well located for getting to the slopes and for going into the town centre. This was a lovely place to stay and would highly recommend.
Had a great week here. A very comfortable and attractive house, very well equipped kitchen, lovely long table that everyone can sit around, lots of comfy chairs to relax in with all the electronic entertainment you could want. Plenty of hot water in nice clean bathrooms, attracive comfy bedrooms. Well placed for ski-bus and town, and what a nice town it is. Ski-ing in the Grand Massif is great with the wooded local slopes if it is snowing and the more open slopes of Flaine if it isn't. Access from Samoens is now even quicker with the new chair opened this season (2017/18) adding two great new cruises with two new reds to follow next season and lots of other fast chairs. All-in-all, I cannot recommend both Maison Deux Coeurs and Samoens enough.
We had a lovely stay at Deux-Coeurs, home from home, well equipped, warm and comfortable.
Ideally situated, a few minutes walk from Samoens centre, ski bus stops at the end of the lane a couple of hundred metres away from the house.
As a family group of 10, with a wide range of ages from 3yrs upwards, the house suited us very well and allowed everyone to have their own space.
David, Sue, Thank you for staying in your fantastic house. It was like a real home for us. Comfortable, cosy, luxureous.... All the nine of us really enjoyed being there and it made it a great vacation. Especially the moments we could not ski beacause of the wether, it was not at all a problem to spend the day in the house. For a group of nine, your house offers a lot of privacy and comfort. Samoens is a nice place to be. Bethan and her husband have surprised us twice with a real good dinner and there is good support from this local team if needed. Your excellent kitchen made it possible to coock ourselves as well. And the large dining table was a perfect place to start the day with a fresh breakfast and a good cup of coffee or tea. We've never had such a great place to be during a skiing holiday. Most of the times the apartment is too small, not well equiped and offers no privacy. Your chalet is unique!! Thanks again for staying there and for you making it a wonderfull time for all of us!!!
