Welcome to Mentehof – Meet the Rainer Family
A place full of nature, animals, and genuine family values
Our Family – Living in Tune with Nature
We – Lisa and Christoph Rainer – live with our children Julius and Constantin at Mentehof, right in the heart of beautiful Carinthia.
Our everyday life is filled with the laughter of our children, the neighing of the Icelandic horses, and the singing of the birds – a place where life still follows the rhythm of nature.
And if you listen carefully, you might even hear our free-range hens clucking in the distance, who have joined our farm family in recent years.

Our Story – 200 Years of Living Traditions
Early 20th century
Around 40 people lived and worked on the farm – from kitchen maids to stable hands. Animals, fields, and community shaped daily life.
Change after the war
After WW II, the farm transformed into a modern family business. Gundula and Hans Rainer saw the signs of the times – and made their dream of an Icelandic horse paradise and guest accommodation come true.
Mentehof today
The surrounding old cottages have been lovingly restored into charming holiday homes. Today, three generations live and work on the farm, keeping the values of the past alive.
Looking Ahead
Mentehof continues to grow – deeply connected to nature yet modern in its approach. Guests enjoy a unique blend of:
Nature & Activity
Relaxation & Adventure
Family & Freedom
Come, feel at home, and experience a place that stays with you.
