Welcome to Tranquillité d’Esprit
A warm welcome to each and every one of you.
This is our home.
My father, Esben Esther Pirelli Benestad, gave it the beautiful name Peace of Mind. As we are located in France, we have chosen its French equivalent: Tranquillité d’Esprit.
Welcome to Tranquillité d’Esprit.
Built in 1860, this house has witnessed many generations, each leaving their mark on its history. Like many historic homes, it underwent significant changes during the modernisation of the 1960s, when practicality often replaced craftsmanship and original details were lost.
Today, our ambition is to honour its heritage by restoring as much of its original character as possible while thoughtfully combining historic charm with modern comfort.
As we settle into this home, we also bring with us pieces of our own story—treasured objects, memories, traditions, and experiences gathered throughout life. Together, they create a blend of old and new that reflects who we are and what we hope this place will become.
Our Vision
We are gradually creating a place where people can meet, celebrate, learn, relax, and enjoy life together.
Stay, rest, and feel at home
Celebrate life’s special moments with family and friends
Enjoy music, dance, art, and cultural experiences
Restore body and mind through wellbeing, movement, and personal growth
Connect with nature in beautiful gardens and peaceful surroundings
Our Environment
For the comfort, health, and safety of all our guests, Tranquillité d’Esprit is a completely smoke-free property. Smoking is not permitted anywhere on the grounds, indoors or outdoors.
We also encourage a shoe-free indoor environment to help preserve the house and maintain a clean and welcoming atmosphere for everyone.
We look forward to welcoming you and sharing this special place with you.
