restfulness
State of repose
Restfulness is the quality of being restful—peaceful, calm, conducive to relaxation.
A place has restfulness when it promotes ease and recovery: the restfulness of the countryside, the restfulness of a quiet afternoon.
The word describes an atmosphere or state rather than active rest itself.
