Naples (Napoli) is southern Italy's largest city, sitting on a dramatic bay below Mount Vesuvius. Family neighbourhoods cluster in the upper Vomero and Posillipo hills (more residential, sea views, calmer) and the central Chiaia and Mergellina districts (closer to the seafront and amenities). The city has a growing international school sector, and the cost of living is significantly lower than Rome or Milan. Trade-offs: traffic congestion, slower bureaucracy than northern Italy, and the need to choose your neighbourhood carefully.
