Home description
Le Feu is only 2 minutes by car from the beautiful historic village of Samoens and has been tastefully restored providing excellent accommodation whilst retaining the authentic charm of the Savoyard farmhouse. All apartments have a large open plan lounge /dining /kitchen, 2 bedrooms, bathroom and WC. We occupy the fifth apartment and are available for help and advice if required.
The farmhouse is along a quiet cul-de-sac which is totally safe for children. In the summer the large garden with picturesque lily pond provides a peaceful setting for BBQ's, sunbathing, table tennis, badminton and relaxing. It is also ideal for sledging and fun in the snow in the winter. Adjacent to the farmhouse we have a large private car park.
Le Feu is an ideal location for all who enjoy the outdoors either sightseeing in the surrounding area ( Geneva, Annecy and Chamonix only 1 hour drive) or enjoying the local amenities and activities of the village and Giffre valley and the Grand Massif Ski area.

The Rhone / French Alps / Haute-Savoie region
Samoens is situated in in the Rhone Alps within one hour's drive of Geneva, Annecy and Chamonix. The area is one of outstanding beauty and charm with stunning alpine scenery, medieval towns ( eg 14th century Yvoire on the shores of Lake Geneva ), castles, museums and gardens. It is usually hot and sunny in the summer and also boasts a very snow sure record in the winter because of it's proximity to Chamonix and the Mont Blanc range . In June the alpine meadows provide a multicoloured carpet of wild alpine flowers and in the autumn as the cooler weather returns the trees are ablaze with autumnal browns gold and orange.

Lakes and gardens also add to the beauty of the village as well as some beautiful stone buildings which show the skill of the local Stonemasons of Samoens ( for which Samoens is renowned) . Samoens also has a large Botanical garden and many restaurants and bars where you can relax and enjoy village life.
