Trequanda is a 14th century hilltop town in the heart of Tuscany, surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and lush greenery. Casa Trequanda offers an authentic Tuscan experience in a peaceful and picturesque setting . The town has a regionally renown Zagat and Michelin Bib Gormand rated restaurant, Conte Matto, as well as a charming town square, with a unique vegan Italian pizzeria/restaurant, a pharmacy, local bar, bank with an ATM. In the center of town in the piazza is a 14th century church in the old Romanesque style. Trequanda also has an excellent deli/butcher shop next to the pizzeria that will vacuum pack guanciale and other goodies for your trip home. There is a small but well stocked local market in town as well. On hot days, the community pool below the pizzeria is a great way to spend time with locals under the olive trees for a reasonable per day charge. Trequanda is one of the famous "Cinque Sorelle" or Five Sister towns, a gateway to many day trips on scenic county roads. Other lovely renaissance hilltop towns, such as Montepulciano, Pienza and Montalcino are just a short distance away and make for an easy outing. Siena is 40 minutes away and Florence is 1-1/2 hours by car. At the end of the day, you can return to the tranquility of Trequanda. All around us are famous restaurants, including several In Monticchielo and Fondo, just outside of town. Casa Trequanda has the upper two levels of a three-story flat located in the historic center of town. Middle Level: two bedrooms with queen beds, bathroom, full kitchen, living room and balcony. Upper Level: one large bedroom with queen bed, bathroom, sitting room, washer/dryer and microwave. Both units offer spectacular views of a beautiful Tuscan landscape with rolling hills. Enjoy the stunning sunsets from the 2nd floor balcony. Note that there are quite a few stairs leading to the 2nd and 3rd floors and no elevator. We have a cooling system in place for the very hot days using portable AC systems.
