Garage Sant’Antonino, on Via Sant’Antonino by the Mercato Centrale and San Lorenzo, is the best-rated car park in this guide, and the reviews explain why: it is a valet garage that takes the ZTL off your hands. “They helped us navigate the ZTL zone and even rode in the car with us to navigate back to the hotel and out,” writes one guest; another praises owners who “messaged me on WhatsApp before I started parking and throughout,” and retrieved an item left in the car mid-stay. It is “huge and unlikely that you get turned away,” so walk-ups usually get a space, and you can “request to drive your car out in between” your stay. The trade-off is price — “more costly than most garages” — but for safety, central location (a few minutes from the Duomo and the markets) and genuinely helpful, English-speaking staff, drivers rate it a 5. Note it is not 24-hour, closing around midnight.
