Native English, Local Residents
At Keys to Garda, we’re not a real estate agency — we’re your trusted local allies. We work exclusively with English-speaking buyers to help them find and secure the right property in the Lake Garda region, with full transparency and confidence. Whether you’re relocating, retiring, or investing in a second home, our service is built around you — your questions, your concerns, and your peace of mind.
We’re here to make buying in Italy not only possible, but personal.
Testimonial
“Alex and Nicole were our personal dream team. Nicole helped us skip through a lot of classic red tape issues, while Alex explained what was happening every step of the way.” – Nicky Elliot
Meet Alex
Originally from the UK, Alex spent over a decade working in international marketing before relocating to Italy with his Italian wife and son. After experiencing firsthand how complex the property search process can be for foreigners, he set out to build a service that bridges the gap — pairing modern buyer support with local know-how.
“I started this service because I’ve lived the confusion, and I know it can be done better.”
Meet Nicole
Born and raised in the Lake Garda area, Nicole brings a deep love for the region — and a vast network of personal contacts, from surveyors and geometri to notaries and renovation teams. Her warm, thoughtful nature makes her a trusted guide throughout the journey. Fluent in English and Italian, she helps bridge cultural and logistical gaps while keeping every detail under control.
Nicole also has a keen eye for design and a passion for helping buyers see not just the potential of a property — but how to make it feel like home.
