to have roots in the countryside
My partner has roots in the countryside, and many weekends we go to her (her family's) village Montejo de la Sierra...
A possibility.

Sorry, it should read "village of Montejo...". And it could also be "his" village.
A possibility.

to have a family home
As all the others have said it is common in Spain to have a pueblo where you go for weekends and holidays. It is really compicated to translate because it is not necessarily where you were born nor where you have a house but could be where your parents or grandparents live or lived. I would therefore translate your sentence as "My partner has a family home in Montejo de la Sierra where we often go for weekends...'

If it is actually slange then it is a very local expression
I seems to mean that her/his partner has a house in the countryside.
