Your Italian Property,
Beautifully Restored.
“We were managing this from New York, which felt impossibly complicated until we found Casatua. They handled everything — contractors, permits, decisions — and kept us close to every stage without us needing to be there. The property exceeded what we imagined was possible.” — Michael R., New York
Restoring Exceptional Italian Properties.
End-to-end design and restoration for English-speaking buyers of Italy’s finest historic properties.
You’ve found your dream home in Italy. Now comes the complex part — bringing it to life. Studio Casatua is your single English-speaking point of contact from concept to completion, protecting your investment and delivering the home you’ve always imagined.
“We nearly bought the wrong property. Casuatua arranged an assessment that flagged structural issues and planning restrictions the selling agent hadn’t mentioned — and pointed us toward a better one. That conversation saved us from a very expensive mistake.” – James & Sarah T., London
Studio Casatua
Italian craftsmanship.
International standards.
Distance shouldn’t cost you. Our English-speaking team brings local expertise and familiar standards to every project — so the gap between where you are and where your property is never becomes a liability.
Your team on the ground.
Led by Creative Director Candida Surgenor and Project Director Tim Surgenor, our Italy-based studio of English-speaking architects, designers and project managers handles everything — from pre-purchase feasibility to final handover of the keys to your Italian home.
Experience matters.
“Casatua understood immediately what we were trying to create — something that felt genuinely Italian…the result is a home we’re deeply proud of, and one that performs exceptionally well as a rental.” — Adam & Ellie G., Sydney
