We stayed at Deux Coeurs for two weeks in August and had a wonderful time. The house is very comfortable and real treat to stay in. We cannot think of anything negative to say about the house or its standard and extent of equipment/fittings (including excellent cookbooks and games etc. The weather was great while we were there so we enjoyed the hot tub and jet pool everyday, sometimes twice! My little boy (aged 5) who is learning to swim particularly enjoyed practising in the jet pool. We also visited the outdoor pool in Samoens which is reasonably priced and worth a visit. We found the house to be in an excellent location and the surrounding views are spectacular. The walk into town is very easy and took about 10 minutes when strolling. We enjoyed walking down by the river to the park and lake, it took us about half an hour. Again, the views on this walk of the river and mountains are beautiful. In fact it's easier to say that Samoens is beautiful wherever you look! The lake/park is great for relaxing and activities e.g. play park, pony rides, golf driving range into a lake (lots of fun!) and there is also the Indiana Parc which is a high rope course with three levels, for those who dare! During our stay we also went to Morzine, Chamonix, Mont Blanc and Annecy. At Morzine and Chamonix we enjoyed the different luge rides that were there. We took the train up to the glacier of Mont Blanc which was a great experience. We enjoyed going into the ice cave, even if there were 430 steps up and down, it was worth it! Annecy was lovely and we rented motor boats to go out on the lake for an hour - lots of fun! There is a small village called on the far side of Morzine calledLes Lindarets which is also known as "Goat Village" which is well worth a visit as long as you like goats! We also went to Sixt Fer a Cheval which is absolutely stunning to see and walk around. The cafe there also serves delicious sorbets and ice-creams. In Samoens we enjoyed catching the gondola up the mountain to see the even more stunning views and watch the parapenters running and jumping off the top! One of the lovely things about Samoens is that all day you can see parapenters filling the skies! Its also good to see them land so easily at the park too. We enjoyed many days out, but also lots of chilled days too. It was always lovely to get back to Maison Deux Coeurs! We ate out at a few restaurants:- La Clarine, La Serrac, La Tornalta and Mezzanine, all very nice. We also enjoyed barbeques at Deux Coeurs too. We shopped at the Super U in Tangines or the more local Carrefour. For barbeques we liked to visit the butchers in Samoens near to the Market Square, which is always busy! The pork espellete sausages are particularly delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Samoens at Maison Deux Coeurs and hope to return! It's not a question of if, but when!
