Charming Alpine Retreat with Stunning Views, Private Balcony & Summer Pool
Petit Brio: A Cozy, Stylish Retreat with Stunning Mountain Views
Imagine waking up to the crisp mountain air, stepping onto your private balcony, and taking in the panoramic views of the majestic Alps and surrounding woodland. This is the experience that awaits you at Petit Brio—a charming, modern apartment nestled in the peaceful hamlet of L'Etelley, just a short distance from the picturesque villages of Samoëns and Morillon.
Designed with both comfort and style in mind, Petit Brio offers a cozy yet spacious home away from home. The apartment sleeps up to four guests, making it ideal for small groups or families. The large master suite, with either a king-size bed or two single beds, is your private sanctuary, while the mezzanine level adds an extra touch of charm with a second double bed, overlooking the open living area below. The well-appointed kitchen is perfect for preparing a delicious breakfast before heading out for a day of adventure, or a leisurely dinner with loved ones after a day on the slopes.
The living and dining area is light and inviting, with large French doors that lead to the balcony, where you can enjoy your meals al fresco or relax with a glass of wine as the sun sets over the mountains. Inside, the stylish decor and thoughtful touches make the space feel both luxurious and homely, with the perfect balance of modern conveniences and mountain warmth.
The spacious bathroom features a large bath/shower, ideal for unwinding after a day filled with skiing, hiking, or exploring the local area. Whether you’re curling up on the sofa with a book, watching a movie on the flat-screen TV, or enjoying the nearby amenities, Petit Brio provides a serene, comfortable space where you can create memories and reconnect with those who matter most.
During the summer months, the south-facing garden is perfect for enjoying the sun, while the shared heated swimming pool and outdoor hot tub provide the ideal spot to relax and unwind, whether you’re swimming a few laps or taking in the breathtaking scenery.
Petit Brio is the perfect base for your alpine adventures, whether you’re exploring the surrounding mountains on foot, by bike, or on skis in winter. And after a day of outdoor exploration, you can return to the tranquility of this beautiful apartment, where every detail is designed to help you relax, recharge, and enjoy the stunning beauty of the French Alps.

About Us: A Family Legacy in the Heart of the Alps
Petit Brio has been part of the Thompson family for over a decade, lovingly designed and built by Robert and Caroline in 2007. In 2017, their son Joss and his wife Denee continued the legacy, transforming this stunning apartment into one of the Alps’ best-kept secrets—a true haven for adventurers and families alike.
With a shared passion for snowboarding, mountaineering, climbing, and cycling, the move from Surrey to Samoëns was inevitable for us. In fact, we’ve always felt this picturesque valley was more than a destination—it was home. In 2015, we tied the knot in Chalet Brio’s beautiful gardens, and by 2017, we made the leap to live here full-time.
Now, as a family of four—Skyelar (6) and Khione (4) keep us on our toes—we’re more committed than ever to sharing the magic of Samoëns with our guests. Whether you’re here for a snow-filled winter escape or a sunny summer retreat, our family-friendly, year-round resort offers something truly special for everyone.
We can’t wait to welcome you to Petit Brio and share the place we’re proud to call home.
