Copacabana, a large statue of Jesus and the Maracaña Stadium are just a few of the iconic attractions of Rio de Janeiro. The city receives the highest amount of tourist traffic, every year, among all other cities in South America. Anyone who has visited Rio can clearly see why. There are plenty of things to see, experience and admire here. However, as exciting as it is, staying in a city as big and popular as Rio might get tiring and expensive.
The municipality of Mesquita, located about 45 minutes from the city of Rio de Janeiro, in the state of the same name, is a great alternative to the hustle and bustle of the city center. That’s why we’ve prepared a list of the best accommodations in and around the area of Mesquita, including some closer to the heart of busy Rio, so you can decide for yourself! Check out the Airbnb vacation rentals we’ve chosen, to provide you with an unforgettable experience in one of the most special places in the world!
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on April 06, 2024.
