tranquil setting

Calm, quiet place

A tranquil setting is a peaceful, calm environment—the kind of place where you might relax or find respite from stress: The spa offered a tranquil setting for the retreat.

The phrase appears frequently in travel writing and real estate listings, sometimes to the point of cliché.
