Comano takes its name from the mythical prophetess Sybilla Cumana who concealed the miraculous spring, the source of the village’s waters, like a treasure. Today Comano is famous for its natural beauty and for its spa waters which are particularly recommended for the treatment of skin ailments. 
The surroundings are dotted with the small villages of the Giudicarie Valley. The area is rich in water and many rivers, the tributaries of the River Sarca, flow across the Ponte Arche area. The spa baths complex stands in a lovely park that covers 14 hectares. The climate is mid-mountain: fresh in summer and not too cold in winter.
