The big hairy European spider you might be referring to is the Mediterranean recluse (Loxosceles rufescens). It has a venomous bite that can cause pain, redness, and tissue damage. It's important to seek medical attention if bitten by this spider.
It sounds like you may have encountered a jumping spider. Jumping spiders are known for their small size and ability to leap short distances.

The spider you are describing sounds like a black widow spider. These spiders are known for their shiny black bodies with a distinctive red hourglass or dot-shaped marking on their abdomen. They can be commonly found in dark, sheltered areas.
Black House Spider is similar to one I found with diamond like shapes on their back. They're about 1/2 inch in body length, with long noticeably hairy legs. Semi-venomous, not fatal to humans.
