Moving to Naples with children?

[emlily]

Hi, May be moving to Naples this year with DH and three children (2 teenagers and an eight year old). This city seems to give rise to such mixed reviews..it seems it is either loved or hated with equal passion. Any views or experiences welcome especially on best areas to live, not to live, advice and experiences (good and bad) of families and teenagers who have lived in Naples would be much appreciated. Thanks

Pozzuoli might be worth a look, rather than Naples itself. It is around a 40 min bus journey/ 30 min car journey from Naples, and to Naples international school.

Thank for your reply..have looked at The International School of Naples and it seems a lovely school (awaiting chance to chat with them, think it's the Summer hols now for Italy?) and the school environment would be an important part of the experience. A tricky decision at the best of times but partic when young people involved!

It might help to get them into Italian classes whilst you are over here, so it won't be so much of a shock when you move x

There is a Facebook group called two fat expats. Big group with ppl all over. Might be worth making a list.
