The enormous Genoa Boat Show is currently in full swing and receiving a lot of press attention. Despite the current poor economic outlook, there’s still a lot of life in the top end of the market, in luxury goods generally and boats, whether sailing or motoring, are high on a lot of people’s wish list. But you need to hurry because the show ends on Sunday 9 October, the bonus being that kids get in free over the week-end – give them a taste for the good things in life, why not!
Let’s take take a look at one of the show’s exciting novelties, the Oyster 625. It’s on stand I131 and this is the first time it has been seen in Italy.

You’ll need to call them to book an appointment to see it.
Riva are of course best known for their smooth, suave and sophisticated motor boats. Achingly good looking is this year’s model Riva 63 Virtus, the flagship of the Riva range of open-top boats. Italian style and design at its best, see it in the Marina section of the show.
Boating is of course a wonderful activity to combine with a villa holiday, and you can hire one, be it motor or sailer, with or without crew, in most seaside locations where we have villas. The Argentario on the Tuscan coast is particularly well known and the ports of Porto Ercole and Porto Santo Stefano offer myriad facilities. Just ask us and we’ll let you have full details. L’Acacia is recommended, along with Giannella (real luxury here) and Villa Mandriola.
Elsewhere, try Sardinia of course, Villa Portisco, Villa Rubia and Villas In Contros are all excellent. On the Amalfi villa rentals Coast, Villa Tre Croci and Torre Cesarea would be great bases for boating.
Babington’s Tea Rooms in Rome
Babington’s Tea Rooms in Rome were opened in 1893 by Isabel Cargill and Anna Maria Babington, two young English ladies of good family who had come to Italy’s capital intent upon opening a tea room and literary salon for the Anglo-Saxon community. The rooms have remained practically the same ever since, and continue to witness events of cultural and historic importance. Having survived two world wars, numerous recessions and the advent of fast food, Babington’s – nowadays run by Cargill’s descendants – has welcomed royal families, politicians, journalists, actors and cultural figures who continue to make their appointments for breakfast, tea, lunch and brunch.
