Ciao,
i'm italian too and i'll move to Doha from the 22nd July,
my wife also doesn't speak english, instead my 2 daugthers 5 and 3 are attending an english kindergarten in italy, at the moment we got places at ACS school in Al Gharrafa and we are looking at the area of Al rayyan or Al Gharrafa for the house. i was in Doha with my wife at the end of April and we took a look at Beverly al Rayyan.Actually it's one of the best compound i've seen in the area, but 18K for a villa was actually too much.If anybody has some advice of compounds in the area with same amenities as the Beverly but at a cheaper price is welcome.
Ciao Fabrizio
