Moving from Vicenza to Naples, looking for house to rent

[jewelzr]

Hello,
I am in a similar position as Laura and would like to hear more info on housing off-base. We are moving to Naples in September and I have 2 school-age children and 2 dogs (boxers) and want to live off-base. I would prefer to experience culture and live within the Italian community. I hope to also send my boys to an international school where they will learn Italian. We also lived off-base in Japan and loved it. Any and all information is appreciated.

Thank you.

Hello
Same people want to live on base and can't wait to go back home, others love to rent an house off base and travel everywhere in Italy and Europe (france spain germany) . I have met several American families that love to live in Naples travel around and experience new restaurants.
I have 3 kids 12 11 and 9 years old when i moved from Ma USA to italy my first 2 were 4 and 3 speaking only English . I sent them to the Italian school for kindergarten and today they are perfectly bilingual.
Anyway if you are looking for an house to rent my place is empty now i'll post same picture if you like . It Is a Villa with backyard.

Good luck

My daughter has been living there for approx 18 mo. off the base, I have spent a great deal of time there also
I can let you know the ins and outs of looking for housing either on base or in the community, where to shop, how to deal with the people, how to avoid mistakes, safety issues, driving time to Support site or Capo. Dealing with realtors otherwise known as LANDLORD REPS, etc
Naples is a somewhat "unique" area of Italy and poses problems that are not easily anticipated........

Hello, I would love to hear your thoughts as well on housing off-base and schooling. We are moving in September, have 6 and 8 year old boys who I would prefer to put in an international type school with Italian emersion and 2 large dogs (boxers). We plan to get a realtor offbase once we arrive to start seeing houses, but I imagine part of our home decision will also be proximity to schools.
Thank you.

Hello everyone! I'm so glad to have found this site, and wish to thank anyone in advance for helping.

About to become a GS after retiring from the AF, and we're headed to Naples. Years ago we were stationed at Aviano, and fell in love with Italy. Traveled as much as we could stand during our time in Europe, almost exclusively in Italy. So we're thrilled!

I'll be working at Capo, but our son will be going into the 12th grade, and I believe the only high school is on Gricignano (is this correct?). We have two dogs-both miniatures, and are wondering what sort of living facilities there are on base/in base-supported areas? What kind of square footage are we looking at on base? Three of us, and all things being equal we'd prefer to live offbase. But I understand conditions aren't the same as those we lived in while stationed at Aviano (we lived off base, and loved it).

I'll check in frequently, and appreciate any advice you all have to offer!

Phil

Naples is a nice city lot of history and things to see art museum ...
