Who was the last person you contacted?
The last person I contacted was my brother. When I returned my parent's home last week, I couldn't meet him because he went out to eat lunch. So I mailed him that I would go again on this weekend. Today we met and he made an espresso for me.

Thank you very much for your careful corrections.

When I returned to my parent's home last week, I couldn't meet him because he wenthad gone out to eat lunch.
(1) Your brother going out to eat lunch occurred before your return, both of which were past events. Hence, the past perfect (or pluperfect) tense is expected.
(2) Alternatively: "I couldn't meet him because he was out for lunch." In this case, the past perfect is not expected because it is not an event, but rather a state of being which occurs at the same time as your visit.
So I mailed and told him that I would go again on this weekend.
(1) "Mail" refers only to the action of sending an email, and does not include the action of actually telling him the information.
(2) Alternatively: "So I mailed him saying that I would go again this weekend."
(3) In this context, "on this weekend" is not a natural expression.

'to return to' you need to put the preposition in. Need to pluperfect for 'had gone out' as it is past of the past.
So I mailed him that I would govisit again on this weekend.
Think visit is more appropriate verb here.
