Villa Gli Arcipressi, Florence

Project by: Cipiuelle Studio - Camilla Lapucci e

On the exclusive hill of Marignolle, a large 15th-century farmhouse, nestled in a landscape of exceptional beauty and overlooking the historic centre of Florence, has been transformed into a luxurious family residence that eloquently interprets the connections between past and present.
The renovation project, designed by architects Camilla Lapucci and Lapo Bianchi Luci of Studio Cipiuelle, breathes new life into the existing structure, preserving its architectural codes while perfectly balancing refinement and liveability. The exquisite coffered ceilings, the splendid stone portals in pietra serena, and the period doors, windows, and fireplaces - restored by the finest local artisans - engage in a remarkably natural dialogue with the furnishing pieces and custom decorative elements, crafted by local companies that showcase the excellence of Florentine savoir-faire.
The aristocratic elegance and glamour of the formal areas - both linear and evocative - strike a balance between colours and textures, profiles and shading.
From one room to the next, antique furnishings and contemporary artworks merge into a cohesive scenography, inviting guests to fully embrace the delight of discovery.
Everything, every detail embodies an art of living defined by elegant yet inviting conviviality, accentuated by the spacious volumes and dynamic flow of the interiors, which feature a large kitchen, a bar area, and a home cinema.
By contrast, the basement offers a cosy atmosphere, featuring a surprising indoor pool, a spa, and a gym, while the first floor.
The upper floor is centred around the family’s private living area, opening onto the owners’ children’s bedrooms and the master suite, preceded by a spectacular dressing room where handbags and shoes are displayed like jewels, and the Zelda dressing table elevates the ritual of self-care to a truly indulgent experience.
The magnificent guest and private bathrooms are equally luxurious, expressing a clear concept of beauty as the ultimate path to genuine well-being.
Marble floors, ceramic panelling, wallpapers, furnishings, bathroom fixtures, taps, and accessories - carefully chosen from Devon&Devon’s iconic collections - create an emotional and chromatic universe in a brilliantly harmonious tonal dialogue.
The master bathroom epitomises this approach, exquisitely showcasing the artisanal excellence of the Tailored Interiors bespoke design service.
