Welcome to Villa del Pavone, where European elegance meets the tranquil beauty of a waterfront escape. Owned by Terrilynn and Larry Dunford, our picturesque estate is an idyllic setting for weddings, intimate gatherings, grand celebrations, and serene retreats.

Terrilynn, an avid traveler with a deep passion for Parisian architecture, elegant design, and lush gardens, has infused every corner of the property with timeless charm and refined detail. Inspired by her journeys and love for photography, she has thoughtfully curated an enchanting landscape—from meandering garden paths to breathtaking waterfront vistas—that invites wonder and romance.

Larry, a dedicated prosthodontist based in Cape Coral, shares this magical space with Terrilynn. Together, they welcome visits from their two sons—one an attorney in Fort Myers, the other a naval Top Gun pilot stationed in California—their wives, and three beloved grandchildren, who cherish the farm’s natural beauty and resident animals.

Imagine exchanging vows surrounded by blooming gardens, or celebrating under the warm glow of chandeliers in our elegantly appointed barn. We invite you to explore the charm of Villa del Pavone—browse our gallery, learn more about our story, and begin planning your unforgettable event.
