Nelly Apartments

Had a wonderful time at these centrally located apartments. They are small and compact and set back from the main street. We stayed in one of the studios (there are two studios and four apartments in total) and had the whole of the top floor to ourselves.
All rooms have a sea view, the back of the apartment is on the beach! Wonderful. Because the apartment complex is so small the pool is never crowded, and for our first week there were no kids staying - very peaceful!
There is no safety deposit box but if this is a concern to you then there are free safety deposit boxes available at some of the Excursion Agencies.
Kassiopi itself is the ideal base to explore the island. There are many boat trips leaving both day and night from the harbor, I would recommend the two island cruise and the Corfu Town Evening Cruise.
Also make sure to visit Albania, the country is trying so hard to build itself up as a tourist destination but has no airport near its west coast, the only tourism it sees is day-trippers coming over from Corfu. Beautiful, fascinating place.
Kassiopi has plenty of places to eat and drink. Our favorite was Istoni, but we couldn't fault any meal we had anywhere.
The only downside to Kassiopi was the prevalence of big screen bars, Karoake/Quiz bars, and Sky Sports everywhere, and on our first night in the resort - Big Brother Live Final being broadcast in nearly every bar!
We spent most nights eating as late as we could and drinking wine in the restaurant, but if the above is your kind of thing you'll have plenty to choose from. There were a few Greek Nights held at different places, try Costas for the real experience.
All in all a wonderful holiday, beautiful apartments - I would hope to get them if I visited again. The maid was wonderful, so cheerful and happy, she came out of her way to greet us if we passed her in the street. Corfiots are wonderful people, we could learn a lot from them!
