I want a room with a view

We love Lucca we have been there before, it is a perfect base, and the little square (don wants me to say "piazza")  he is turning Italiano: anyway our square has kids of all ages who come in waves to play kick to kick soccer in the evenings, we have a gourmet up market "slow food endorsed" ristorante and pasticceria, macelleria, Les Tricot fine knits shop.  It also has a "gone bonkers" and a nearby gelateria, fruitivendoli, a church.   Honestly, what more would a person want?  Water.  At night people are filliing up a dozen water bottles from the fontana at our corner.
Here is the view from our bedroom window in Lucca, the trees in the picture are actually growing on the city walls.
This is Don's email:-
Our top story apartment, in view, while we are dining in an great restuarant in our piazza San Francisco

We Are waiting for our train to take us to Pisa from where we fly to Sardinia.
We have had three days here in Lucca which is agreat spot as there is relatively few tourists
 but plenty to see and do. 
I Climbed to the top of one of the towers this am and took a few pics of the panorama 
We have split up now so it's just Ann and me from here in.
Pretty hard to play 'spoof' with just 2
I'll include a couple of shots from Fiesole overlooking Florence as well as the view from 
another of our windows down the canal
