    Completed Summer 2019

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!

David We had a great time in Samoens skiing made extra special by staying in your lovely chalet. It was so convenient to the Ski bus and we even walked back some afternoons stopping at the Sherpa (supermarket) for a few groceries etc. There were 11 of us and it was never cramped (5 couples and me). The 2 lounge areas were handy as it ended up with the 'older' persons at one end reading or dozing and the other end was used by the 'younger' members playing games and having a quiet drink. The hot tub was absolutely lovely and warmed the bones and helped with the aches and pains and the views of the mountains were beautiful. The kitchen was well stocked and enabled us to have a 'Come Dine With Me' competition with a different couple cooking each night. The only thing we missed was an electric hand whisk to beat the eggs for a pavlova. The chalet was very warm and we certainly chilled out after a hard days skiing. We love the Grand Massif range and hope to return and would certainly stay at Deux Coeurs again.

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!

Thank you so much, David and Co, for allowing us to try out the delights of your beautiful residence, and in the stunning location of Samoens. We only had a week, but packed in loads of activities, which have all been described in detail above, and truly fell in love with the whole area. The chalet is a delight! The 6 of us were spoilt for choice as to where to sleep, with beautifully appointed bedrooms throughout, some with balconies, and bathrooms/en-suites aplenty. The kitchen was the best-equipped I've come across, in a self-catering property, and I could have been very adventurous with the cooking if I'd wished....being a very hot week, we spent much of it outdoors till pretty late, coming back to enjoy the wonderfully cold pool, with obligatory glass of crisp, local Rose wine and a crisp or two.....quick shower then off in to enjoy the delights of the numerous, characterful local restaurants - all within about 10mins walk. We also did carry-out pizza, with amazing local fresh veg for salad, and more local wine of course! So, apart from simple breakfasts (mainly local fruit, yoghurt and the obligatory pain au chocolat or newly discovered 'crevettes', I really didn't use the kitchen to its full potential. I get the feeling had the weather been worse, and/or this had been a winter holiday, I would have cooked more elaborate meals for sure. My Brother has a place in Flaine, so one day we tried the brand new, extremely clean and lovely 'piscine' in Les Carroz, before visiting Flaine. Flaine is not as big as Samoens, and has always been quite a functional ski-resort, but has some stunning scenery and walks too. Our favourite spot so far, is Sixt Fer a Cheval, and had the loveliest hike up to the waterfalls - truly like something out of Jurassic Park! Only down-side of the holiday, was Lee thinking he was a teenager again, leaping off a high rock ledge on the rafting trip, and losing the GoPro....anyone else going rafting with 'Atypik' anytime soon, might find it if they fancy diving to the bottom of a swirly, deep pool under 'said rock ledge...apparently it's full of great rafting footage of Lee and the 3 boys :( Having skied in the Alps for many years (40+, I'm terrifed to admit!), this was our first summer Alpine break, and we're completely hooked, and hope to be back very soon :D

We had the most lovely week at deux coeurs- a perfect place for a family summer holiday for 3 generations- a short easy walk into the village for early morning coffee and croissants and lovely walks by the river from outside the house. Everyone enjoyed the plunge pool -it was a hot week so we needed it . We all hope to return.
