Firenzo Contessa RU
Big home heat, wide flame view, 3 kW or 5 kW wetback option
The Firenzo Contessa RU is the rural version of Firenzo’s larger Contessa freestanding wood fire, built for big homes and open plan spaces. The wide east west layout gives a strong flame view while keeping the fire’s footprint practical, and the rural configuration allows installation on properties over 2 hectares. A key reason people choose the Contessa RU is the option of a 3 kW or 5 kW hot water heater, adding hot water support alongside high output room heating.
- Built for larger homes: Designed for heating big living areas
- Wetback flexibility: 3 kW or 5 kW hot water heater options
- Wide firebox style: Strong flame presence without excessive depth into the room
- Cooktop cast iron: Cast iron top suited to cooking and heat retention
