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!

C’est la deuxième fois qu’on vient et c’est un véritable havre de paix
Le chalet est top et on ‘s’y sent bien.
Nous apprécions beaucoup d’Amiens, les randonnées, les paysages.
Un conseil y aller et respecter cet endroit.
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour au printemps dans le chalet petit cœur. Le chalet est très bien équipé et idéalement situé pour visiter la région. L'environnement est calme, le jardin est appréciable. L'équipement du chalet est satisfaisant avec notamment une literie de qualité. Les commerces sont accessibles à pied. Les activités rafting, parapente sont également accessibles très facilement. Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir.
1. Maison Deux-Coeurs a lovely cosy home from home, where the days adventures on the mountain were regaled over a hearty meal with plenty of wine and good company. I was thankful for the wood burning stove, the hot tub and the warmest of welcomes and care by our hosts. Conveniently situated for access to the slopes and the town centre of Samoens, you can be as independent or group orientated as you wish. The town is very picturesque and the locals and snow sports instructors friendly. 2. CPD Actif - combining the adventurous training with the other elements of active learning and personal development offers one of the fastest ways to bond a group of individuals and create an environment where everyone feels able to express both their strengths and offer their weakness for development by the group.
We have recently returned from a fabulous week (March 2022) in Maison Deux Coeurs. We were spoilt by quiet slopes with great snow and brilliant sunshine. Maison Deux Coeurs impressed too - we were a family of 5 adults (should have been 7 with a baby) and the amount of room worked out well. The kitchen is well stocked and the big table adjacent makes for a great cooking/eating space. We loved the hot-tub - after a busy day on the snow it was a real treat. The ski lift was 5 minutes drive - we thought it would be a bit far to walk in ski boots, but without a car you could easily use the lockers available at the lift and work in normal footwear. Walking into town was easy .
Samoens is a little gem and we hope that not too many people discover it.
Returned form a great a lovely week with family in Samoens, made even better by the 5* chalet! Everything went so smoothly, from the time I made the reservation with David way back in July right up to our last day. The chalet had everything & more than we need for our stay, all that you see on the website is true, it has been decorated to a high standard and it was never cold and that was with the radiators turned at a low/medium setting! The log burner was great to have on in the evenings, nice and cosy :-) What can I say about the hottub.....amazing, great way to relieve those tired muscles after skiing! The chalet is only 5-10 minutes from the centre of Samoens, a lovely village/town although it was very quiet when the week we were there, somedays it seemed as though there was no-one going about. Apres-ski is quiet, fine for me & my husband, but too quiet for the young couples with us. It didn't detract from our holiday though and the food from the 3 restaurants that we visited was excellent, much better than previous resorts we've been in. We did a 'come dine night' 3 times and the carrefour just out of the village had everything that we needed....except for fresh chillies... required for all 3 nights :-( Unfortunately the weather wasn’t all that kind to us for producing snow in the mountains until the night we were leaving when it even fell in the village! We managed to ski every day, although not all runs open and the pistes were getting a bit bare in some places. Even managed to get stuck in Flaine because they stopped the life back up to Samoens. Would I go back? In a heartbeat, an amazing chalet!!
