Villa moved out of the Premier League relegation zone with one match remaining as Trezeguet's first-half goal earned them a potentially priceless victory.
The Egyptian midfielder blasted home in the 27th minute and it proved enough for Villa to move above Watford on goal difference after they were thrashed by Manchester City earlier.
"It was unbelievable, I think it was deserved we were outstanding today," Villa midfielder Jack Grealish told Sky Sports.
"It's been a tense day, all we can do is focus on ourselves.
It's up to us what we do on the last day. It feels massive to be out of the relegation zone.
Villa, promoted last season, hung on for their second victory in three games and now face West Ham United on Sunday sensing an escape that for so long has appeared beyond them.
They have 34 points and a -26 goal difference with Watford also on 34 but with a -27 goal difference. Bournemouth have 31 and could still stay up if they win their last game at Everton and Villa and Watford both lose.
