FROM ITALY, WITH LOVE

Hospitality is in our blood.
Our founder, Filippo Navarra left Sicily and journeyed to Australian shores, where his instinct for entertaining and old-fashioned hospitality came into play and was extremely well received. Growing from one venue, to another (another, and another…), Navarra is now Sydney’s leading venue and hospitality group – influencing the game with innovation and harnessed creativity.

CONCA D’ORO: OUR FLAGSHIP VENUE WHERE DOWNTOWN NEW YORK MEETS ITALIAN PASSION & STYLE

Steeped in extravagant Italian beauty, Filippo Navarra’s first venue was Conca D’oro. The hard working migrant alongside his wife Sarina put everything they had on the line to begin their new family business in the events industry. This is where history & hospitality merged and one can say that it was always in his blood.

LE MONTAGE: CONTEMPORARY WATERFRONT LUXURY WITH FINE DINING EXCELLENCE

Seeing the potential in purchasing popular sporting institution Apia Club in 1996, this venue became the jewel of the Navarra collection. Brother Sal & Giovannino Navarra as well as sister Marie Florio pushed forward to develop a magnificent waterfront oasis that set the standard for Sydney’s hospitality industry.

2003
CURZON HALL: “O ROMEO, ROMEO WHEREFORE ART THOU ROMEO”-TRUE ROMANCE IS ALIVE

Son of Filippo Navarra Sal Navarra discovered this stunning heritage castle after getting lost driving a friend home. He then raced home to pick up his father because he wanted to show him the castle. The building was owned by the Catholic Church and was not for sale for quite some years. The Navarra Venues group bought the private residence in 2003 and it was not until after two years that they were able to host their first event with guests.

This venue is stunning with its old world charm with infused Georgian architecture and is set on five acres of lush well manicured gardens.
