Ca Voga, is a beautiful home! Irene is an amazing true Venetian host. Irene home is completely new inside. Beautiful furniture, marble floors new appliances, A/C units and a washer. Washer came in great after 8 days in Italy.
Irene gave us great recommendations for places to eat that had good prices and great food. Near by Irene home is a supermarket with very reasonable maybe even cheaper than where I live prices.
Ca Voga is right on the Grand Canal near the Train station so your not in the heart of the tourist areas so restaurants I think offer better food and prices, every night we went out to eat it was mostly locals so that’s comforting to know.
From Irene home to St. Marks is about 15 min walk for a Venetian 45 min for an American who doesn’t know how to navigate the Venice Maze, but it’s a good and fun walk. The only down side was
Irene home is on the second floor so if steps are any issue (50 steps total) for you then this is not the place for you.
