Advice on locations to stay near Rio, Brazil

Look ing at potential honeymoon potentials, always fancied going into Rio for a short 3 das trip to see the main sights, then getting out again for the rest of the time as I'm not a big lover of huge sprawling foreign cities. Looking at a few places, there are recommendation of the Costa Verde along the coast from Rio, can anyone draw from experience as to places worth considering, prepared to take internal flights in Brazil if nothing appropriate within an easy ride from Rio.

Thanks

    Buzios perhaps, but not in high season.

    3 days in Rio is perhaps not enough, we had 4 days of cloud and it was only worth going to Christ the Redeemer and Sugar Loaf mountain on the 5th day because it was clear.

    On the Costa Verde you have Paraty http://www.paraty.com.br/iindex.asp which is a lovely little colonial town with great beaches,this is a 4 hour bus journey from rio,we stayed in a this place
    http://www.mistichill.com/ it is right on the beach and has private rooms with air con,TV,bathroom and balcony with sea view all for about £20 per night.

    In the other direction is Buzios and Cabo frio which are about 2.5 hours on the bus from rio,buzios is a bit more expensive than Paraty,but again it is a beautiful place with plenty of beaches and nice restaraunts,cant remember the names of the pousadas that we stayed in here but in Buzios it was about £45 per night and in Cabo frio about £35 per night including breakfast.
