Maatsen, 22, joined the Chelsea academy from PSV in 2018.
He made his debut in September 2019 but was shipped out on loans to Charlton, Coventry and Burnley.
Maatsen played 15 times under Mauricio Pochettino last season.
However, the Dutchman was allowed to spend the second half of the 2023-24 campaign with Borussia Dortmund.
And he even started the Champions League final as the Bundesliga giants lost 2-0 to Real Madrid at Wembley.
Now Maatsen can prepare for another season in the Champions League now with his new side Villa.
