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, in the heart of the historical center of town. Trequanda has a regionally renown Zagat and Michelin Bib Gormand rated restaurant, Conte Matto, within a 4 minute walk and a unique and exceptional vegan restaurant, Ciriera, in the charming town square. We also have a traditional Italian pizzeria/restaurant, a pharmacy, local bar and a legitimate 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, Macelleria Ricci, that will vacuum pack guanciale and other goodies for your trip home. Their mortadella is the best in Tuscany and they are well stocked with wine, water, bread, olives and other goodies to enjoy with the sunset from your balcony but you will need to look up the open hours. 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, San Quirico, Cortona and Montalcino are just a short distance (around 30 minutes) away and make for an easy outing. Siena is 45 minutes away and Florence is 1-1/2 hours by car. San Gimignano and Assisi are also feasible day trips. 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.
