Yes this is an intentional adults only (21+) experience. Given the nature of the weekend late nights, and an intimate setting we are not able to accommodate guests under 21. We love your little ones and hope you can arrange care for the weekend.
Can I bring a plus one?

Verona Catullo (VRN) is the best option about 35km from Villa Cariola and 30 minutes from Verona city center. Milan Malpensa (MXP) is a good alternative with more international connections, about 1.5 hours from Verona by train. Bergamo Orio al Serio (BGY) is another option for budget airlines.
