Apollo and Daphne
The rooms at the Hotel Villa Daphne are decorated with paintings dedicated to the ancient legend of the nymph Daphne and god Apollo. The legend narrates that Apollo, exaggeratedly boasting of his bow and arrow skills, was pierced by Cupid out of spite.
Hopelessly in love with the nymph Daphne, he was scorned by her, who in running away from him, sought help from her father Peneus who transformed her into a laurel to escape Apollo. From that day on, Apollo, desperate for the loss of his love, wore a laurel crown on his head to remind him of his loved one.
