English translation:the unhurried pace
Explanation:
calm lifestyle and poise would be another option.
I do not think that you can keep the phrase as is. It sounds great in Italian..but in English it's dorky. Assuming that they indeed have a turtle or tortoise as a logo..

I would translate as:
logding(residence..whatever) that takes pride in offering (or which truly offers) to its guests the unhurried/calm lifestyle of a turtoise (just like its sign?)and gentile poise
