Initially it was a Bertini gymnasium-merry-go-round, mentioned in 1864, which was built by the Testerin entrepreneur Jean Monperney on behalf of the Compagnie du Midi. It is located next to the Information Office (villa Antonina) and the Universal Bazaar (current villa Monge). The gymnasium became the Villa Tolédo in 1865. In 1877-1878, the villa was owned by architect Gustave Alaux. This departmental architect designed for the Compagnie des Chemins de Fer du Midi the plan of several chalets in the 'Ville d'Hiver' and the Notre-Dame d'Arcachon church. He probably transforms the gym and calls him Romeo. The construction remains rustic with its wooden structure and brick walls. The most significant modifications concern the staircase, the balconies and a cut-out wooden farmhouse.
The villa was renamed Toledo at the end of the 1880s after being acquired by Mr. Noël, a banker who practiced his profession in Spain. He would have had it transformed by the architect Jules de Miramont. The decorative log structure is transformed by a cut wooden structure. The exterior staircase is a masterpiece. In the years 1940-1943, the villa was used as a maternity hospital.
Have lived in this villa:
Count Henri de Bourbon-Lignières, Marie Berthe de Monthalant (French soprano of American origin), her husband Numa Auguez (baritone at the Opera and professor at the National Conservatory of Paris), as well as Mr. André Mouëzy-Éon (French playwright ).
