The Soc. Agr. Cominium Benessere is the largest agritourism accommodation in the Comino Valley, having an Agricultural Pole and an Ecotourism Pole with a total area of over forty hectares, surrounded by nature in the pre-National Park area of Abruzzo - Lazio - Molise, functioning since 2015, which has so far hosted people from many Italian regions and various European countries. The Comino Valley is a little-known naturalistic jewel located in Lower Lazio, contiguous to the National Park of Abruzzo - Lazio - Molise.
Its millenary history lived by Italic-Sannic-Roman populations, the enchanting landscapes and unspoilt nature are the resources that make the Comino Valley unique and wonderful for Italian and international tourism. The contiguity with the Abruzzo-Lazio-Molise National Park means that during the summer months Italian and foreign visitors often 'discover' the beauties on an occasional basis, the nature and hospitality of the Comino Valley, but too often they do not find a place with adequate nature trails for getting to know and experience herbs and plants and to further discover their benefits when used for food preparation or phytotherapeutic purposes with healing herbs. The thousand-year history, culture of folk traditions and nature of the Comino Valley are the key features that create a unique and engaging environment and social context for visitors. Cominium Benessere' activities and proposals are based on the Ecotourism model (Presutti, 2012), which is based on the realization of the New Humanism in the 21st century, in which people's habits and lifestyles that lead to their well-being are determined by the relationship between Homo and Nature, not by the economic processes of consumerism and unconditional exploitation of environmental and energy wealth. Cominium Benessere's Wellness Pathways take people through a series of practical experiences of EXPERIENTIAL ECOTURISM, which are characterized by the use and enhancement of the senses, knowledge, discoveries and personal creativity, experiencing the Nature of the Comino Valley and the Abruzzo-Lazio-Molise National Park on a physical-psychic-mental level.
